About this ebook
This book provides a fascinating survey of the career of one of Hollywood's great mavericks. In his memoir Fragments, Andre de Toth took his readers on a roller coaster ride through his life. He gave scant mention to his film work. In De Toth on De Toth, he redresses the balance and expounds - in his own exhuberant style - on his film-making career. The cast of characters includes his wife - the luminous Veronica Lake - as well as stars such as Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, David Niven, Vincent Price, Dick Powell, and a whole host of others in the Hollywood firmament. De Toth speaks of his work on Lawrence of Arabia and on Superman, as well as revealing how a one-eyed director could make the 3-D masterpiece, House of Wax.

As the writer Anthony Slide admits at one point, he does have some ridiculous questions but the answers even if they are elusive carry an honest and humble approach to life. As legend has it he was directed too by Andre de Toth so it is a strange tightrope dance. Eventually, you learn a great deal about how to enjoy life.
