Description:
<p><b><i>With six decades in show business, legendary director Ted Kotcheff looks back on his life</b></i></p>
<p>Born to immigrant parents and raised in the slums of Toronto during the Depression, Ted Kotcheff learned storytelling on the streets before taking a stagehand job at CBC Television. Discovering his skills with actors and production, Kotcheff went on to direct some of the greatest films of the freewheeling 1970s, including <i>The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz</i>, <i>Wake in Fright</i>, and <i>North Dallas Forty</i>. After directing the 1980s blockbusters <i>First Blood</i> and <i>Weekend at Bernie’s</i>, Kotcheff helped produce the groundbreaking TV show <i>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</i>. During his career, he was declared a Communist by the U.S. government, banned from the Royal Albert Hall in London, and coped with assassination threats on one of his lead actors.</p>
<p>With his seminal films enjoying a critical renaissance, including praise from Martin Scorsese and Nick Cave, Kotcheff now turns the lens on himself. Witty and fearless, <i>Director’s Cut</i> is not just a memoir, but also a close-up on life and craft, with stories of his long friendship with Mordecai Richler and working with stars like Sylvester Stallone, James Mason, Gregory Peck, Ingmar Bergman, Gene Hackman, Jane Fonda, and Richard Dreyfuss, as well as advice on how to survive the slings and arrows of Hollywood.</p>
