~Choice

Includes enough good gossip to keep movie addicts reading.

~Hollywood Reporter

Heston remarked, 'Hal was very good. Surely one of the two or three best of them all.' Hal Wallis: Producer to the Stars offers plenty of reasons to take that assessment seriously, and it gives a great filmmaker his due.

~Hollywood Reporter

For someone whose name appears in the credits of hundreds of movies, Hal Wallis doesn't get a lot of credit. Bernard F. Dick has tried to rectify that with the first biography of the great Hollywood producer.

~Philadelphia Inquirer

A masterful job of charting Wallis's career and examining his roles as production executive and independent producer. This is an engaging and illuminating narrative.

~Film Quarterly

It is one thing to understand the complex operation of the film industry, particularly in the wake of the studios having been absorbed into conglomerates. It is quite another to tell the story of the producers involved in this industry with insight and wit, in a way that appeals to the general reader as well as to film scholars. Bernard Dick has accomplished this feat once again in his book on Hal Wallis.
