Jack H. Harris (1918–2017)

The entertaining autobiography of moviemaker Jack H. Harris, best known for his movie, The Blob, starring Steve McQueen. Lots of anecdotes with more than a few references to how Harris would tease McQueen over The Blob...although McQueen's tragic death of cancer occurred in a small house, furnished in a Spartan manner, with only a Blob movie poster on the wall. Harris looks back over 97 years to trace his journey from silent movies to making movies. In one sharp deal as a distributor, he show more acquired a cowboy movie about Davy Crockett and relaunched it in movie theaters to coincide with Disney's TV Crockett trilogy. Filled with anecdotes as well as background on financing and making movies for the film buff, this one will definitely deliver the goods for you. show less
