MILIUS (15) 2013 JOEY FIGUEROA, J/KNUTSON, Z £19.99
Profile of screenwriter and director, John Milius. A contemporary of
Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas during the 1970s, Milius’ fame as a
screenwriter will forever be secured by the ‘Do I Feel Lucky?’ Clint
Eastwood speech in Dirty Harry (1971) and the ‘I Love the Smell of
Napalm in the Morning’ speech for Robert Duvall in ‘Apocalypse Now’
(1979). Famously out-of-sync with the liberal movers and shakers in
Hollywood at the time, Milius’ forthright political views and
controversial support of right-of-centre groups like the National Rifle
Association led to claims that he was ‘blacklisted’ by his peers.
Figueroa and Knutson affectionately trace the film-maker’s career
with the help of contributions from friends and family and a host of
Hollywood stars including Francis Ford Coppola, Harrison Ford, George
Lucas, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone.
