Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 31 ratings
  • Hal Ashby and the Making of "Harold and Maude"

    Marshall Poe seems to need to seem more intelligent than the author. Rather than ask the author more questions, he finds it necessary to interject his know-it-all-ism attitude and pedantic tone. He comes across as somewhat snobbish. I wanted to hear the author, not Poe's ego. Great book, though. I highly recommend it....the book, not this show.
