Description de l'ouvrage :
In 1945 U.S. Navy photographer Nick Scutti found himself in the Florida Keys on the set of the classic World War II drama They Were Expendable, taking candid shots of director John Ford, stars Robert Montgomery and John Wayne and the supporting cast and crew. Scutti’s never before published collection of fully captioned photos provides a unique chronicle of the 30-day location shoot, revealing details of the making of the film and in some instances disproving certain statements made by MGM publicity and Ford himself. Brief biographies are included of the stars of the film and of the men the film was based upon.

Revue de Presse :
"a fascinating untold story of one of the greatest movie makers and film stars in American history. This book is a great read…both the movie enthusiasts and professionals will love it."—The Washington Book Review
"Sabini has written a meticulously detailed introduction to this previously unpublished collection of on-the-set candids, and provided biographical sketches of the cast…fascinating…more than a pictorial history. It is a full-on document of an enduring film classic helmed by one of American cinema’s most important directors. This pictorial history allows us to visually explore the making of this classic film. In-depth chapters show Sabini’s understanding of the film and its place in American cinema’s history. One of the most important, interesting, and informative film books of this year. Recommended"—Examiner
"remarkable…we are transported back in time to experience some of the feeling of a major movie shoot…. How exciting to discover so much about an important film seventy years after its creation"—Leonard Maltin’s Movie Crazy
