Blade Runners, Deer Hunters and Blowing the Bloody Doors Off cover

Blade Runners, Deer Hunters & Blowing the Bloody Doors Off is essential for any fan of cult film, British cinema, or simply of a fascinating story told well.

Few would imagine that one man links Ridley Scott’s visionary sci-fi classic Blade Runner; The Deer Hunter, that searing study of lives ruined by the Vietnam War; and The Italian Job, the much loved British caper that made an icon of Michael Caine. But Michael Deeley has worked with some of the toughest film-makers, and lived to tell the tale, in this frank and humorous rollercoaster-ride through the ways and wiles of getting great movies made.

‘You’ll enjoy this book. I did.’

-- Sir Michael Caine

‘This book is packed with hilarious stories... Deeley was not a run-of-the-mill producer churning out crap; he carefully nurtured engrossing films, some which are now regarded as classics. That makes this book a great read for anyone interested in the film business’.

-- Janet Street-Porter

‘This is a fascinating, British producer’s insider view of the movie business.’
