'A proper literary belter' THE TIMES ' Affectionate and endlessly entertaining' RICHARD OSMAN
A wildly ambitious story of the making of a colossal star-studded multimillion-dollar
superhero action film and the humble comic book that inspired it all. Spanning eighty years
and culminating in the opening of a film we meet a cast of characters including a troubled
soldier a young boy with an artistic gift an inspired and eccentric director a pompous film
star on the rise a tireless production assistant and countless film crew members who together
create Hollywood magic. Funny touching and wonderfully thought-provoking The Making of
Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece offers an insider's take on the momentous efforts it
takes to make a film. At once a reflection on America's past and present on the world of show
business and the real world we all live in.
