Film legends share their iconic scenes.

This book would be a great read for anyone interested in the art and history of film-making. Readers will appreciate the depth of analysis and insider information provided by the interviews with famous actors and directors. Scene by Scene provides a unique behind-the-scenes perspective of over 40 iconic film scenes from the past 50 years. The colorful illustrations also make it an engaging read for those who may not be avid film enthusiasts.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
