from last century's pioneers to current box-office favorites, from DeMille to Spielberg, from welles to wider to woo, The Hollywood.com Guide to Film Directors profiles more than three hundred notable moviemakers. Briskly, informatively, it maps the achievement of the movie industry's acknowledged directorial heavyweights, of course: Kitchcock, Huston, Kubrick, cukor coppola, Truffaut et al. But its enganing entries also include “indie” luminaries like John Sayles, foreign film directors like Werner Herzog, B-movie grinders like Herschel Gordon Lewis, up-and-comers like Sophia Coppola, and today's cinematically hip Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, and Wes Anderson.

More than just a reference tool providing biographical and professional data (data and place of birth, birth, family education, career milestones, nom-inations, awards), The Hollywood.com Guide to Film Directors is studded with trivia and telling anecdotes, And worth the price of admission alone are its lively and incisive biographical sketches of these giants, mavericks, hacks, and geniuses who together have changed the way we watch movies and view the world.
