Author of New Book Delves into His Career in Film to Give Readers a Behind-the-scenes Look at Movie Production
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) January 25, 2019 -- Encouraged by his peers who loved his tales of Hollywood, Wolfgang Glattes has written a book telling colorful stories from working in the film industry. In his fun-filled debut book, “Memories of La La Land: A life in the movies” (published by Archway Press), he delivers an intimate insider account of the 40-plus feature films he’s worked on. The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Memories-Land-Movies-Wolfgang-Glattes/dp/1480868221.
“There’s no business like show business and people love it,” the author says, adding: “I hope the book is an entertaining, informative read for movie lovers and historians alike.”
The book takes the readers behind the camera and unveils the secrets of making major motion pictures. It features well-known actors, directors and crew members, who readers may not have heard of before. Some of the films the author has worked on include the original “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” “Cabaret,” “All that Jazz,” “Fletch” and “U.S. Marshals.” Glattes worked alongside such legendary directors as Bob Fosse, Robert Benton, Sidney Lumet, Costa-Gavras, Bob Aldrich, Otto Preminger, John Huston and Roman Polanski. He also worked with stars like Sir Lawrence Olivier, Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, John Travolta, Jane Fonda, Bruce Willis, Robert Redford, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Johnny Depp.
Glattes hopes that his book exposes readers to “the human side behind all the sometimes phony glitter and sparkle of show business.”
