Richard Donner - Book Release

Book Release

In 2010, the biography You're the Director... You figure it out: The Life and Films of Richard Donner was published by BearManor Media.

Scriptmag described the book as an "engaging portrait of a warm-hearted (if occasionally gruff) man who can justly be considered the modern equivalent of Victor Fleming and Michael Curtiz – a highly talented, professional director of motion pictures who has thrived in the studio system and made some pretty good pictures to boot."

The Directors Guild of America called the book a "a compelling study of an ebullient, ballsy risk-taker who was a director even before he was aware of it" that "ably captures Donner’s joy in doing a job he loves."
