Description: Wally Worsley's autobiography describes one man's extensive experience with the Hollywood studio system, beginning on the bottom rung at M-G-M in the 1930s, at the time of The Wizard of OZ, and culminating in the 1980s with E.T. His career bridged a half-century and provides a comprehensive overview of the development of Hollywood studio production.

His autobiography has been assembled from his voluminous business diaries, a project first begun by Worsley himself, then completed by his widow following his death. The book presents a fascinating picture of Hollywood at work, from the Old Golden Age to the new one, with excursions to the film worlds of postwar Singapore and Europe.
