Harris' skillfully researched examination of the five films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in 1968, a pivotal year in the annals of Hollywood. It's fun to read. Harris follows the shared and random nature of the business better than anyone else does. Harris delves deep into the development of each movie. He renders rich particulars and perspectives about casting, screenplays, direction, production, actors.
