Reviews for From Pinewood to Hollywood
'A fascinating look at the British screenwriters and directors who went to Hollywood over a period of sixty years: how they adjusted, or didn't adjust, and what they contributed to American as well as British films. It's so good I wish it was longer.' - Tom Stempel, Los Angeles City College, USA
