Title: No bucks, no Buck Rogers!
Review: This is an excellent, indepth look at a vastly underrated and underappreciated film. I've always been a fan of "The Right Stuff" but have never been able to find any kind of information on it.Mr. Charity has certainly done his homework by writing a thorough account of the how the film was made, complete with access to director Philip Kaufman, and a top notch analysis of the film itself. There is some truly fascinating stuff in this book. For example, he examines the rather experimental techniques that went into creating the film's special effects. I love film books that talk about how the movie was made with anecdotes and interesting factoids. This book does not disappoint on this level.I enjoyed this book so much that I read it all the way through in one sitting. It's yet another great entry into this BFI series and well worth picking up if you're a fan of this particular film.
