I Am Spartacus!: Making a Film, Breaking the Blacklist by Kirk DouglasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having recently watched the fascinating Trumbo movie, this was a natural follow-up read. It tells the story of how Douglas, narrated by his son & actor Michael Douglas, came to be produce and act in this story and how it came to play a leading role in returning writer Trumbo to his rightful role and break the red-scare H'wood blacklist. This is a fascinating back-story on the logistics and filming an epic and the social transformation happening during the post-WW II red scare decades.
