This is a book of fiction and is intended for the entertainment of the reader. The Iranian students are real, although their actual lives are not known. The reference to Bill Donovan is true. He is the attorney that negotiated the release of Gary Powers. He did become the President of a well-known university in Brooklyn, New York. All references to aircraft, pilots, and procedures are made up for the occasion. Some references may be true or correct, as the case may be, but only by accident. The reference to drones that carry people is only an extension of the idea of a spaceship. It is possible that a planet out in space somewhere is identical to that of planet Earth. There are billions if not more, planets in the universe, so who knows? It was a distinct pleasure to write about Matt, Ashley, Anna, the General, and Sir Charles Bunday. They are foremost in my imagination. My wife Margaret and our daughter Kathy helped me whenever necessary and did so with great pleasure. Thanks for reading the book. The book follows the usual procedure of no violence, no sex, and no bad language. It is accessible to readers of all ages.

The story behind The Magnificent Seven could have been a movie in itself. It had everything--actors' strike, writers' strike, Mexican government interference and a row between the screenwriters that left one removing his name from the credits, all under the lingering gloom of post-McCarthy era Hollywood. A flop on release, it later became a box office hit. This book tells the behind-the-scenes story: how Yul Brynner became the biggest independent producer in Hollywood; why John Sturges was not the first choice after Brynner surrendered the director's chair; why Sturges quit; the truth about the Mirisch Company (producers); the details of the film's botched release and unlikely redemption; the creation of Elmer Bernstein's classic score; and how internecine fighting prevented the making of the television series in 1963. Myths about Steve McQueen, his feud with Brynner and the scene-stealing antics of the cast are debunked. A close examination of the various screenplay drafts and the writers' source material--Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai--shows who wrote what. Extensive analysis of Sturges' directorial work is provided.

Hollywood in the 1960s walked a tightrope between boom and bust. Yet the decade spawned many of the greatest films ever made, saw the advent of the spy thriller, the revival of science fiction and horror, and represented the Golden Era of the 70mm roadshow. Blockbusters like Lawrence of Arabia and The Sound of Music shared marquees with low-budget hits such as Lilies of the Field and Easy Rider. New stars emerged--Steve McQueen, Sidney Poitier, Barbra Streisand, Sean Connery, Faye Dunaway, Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman. Veteran directors like Billy Wilder and William Wyler were joined by the post-war generation of Robert Aldrich and Stanley Kramer, and the new wave of Stanley Kubrick and John Schlesinger. This book explores a period when filmmakers embraced revolutionary attitudes to sexuality, violence and racism, and produced a bewildering list of critically acclaimed classics that remain audience favorites.

Escape Artist—based on Glenn Lovell’s extensive interviews with John Sturges, his wife and children, and numerous stars including Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, and Jane Russell—is the first biography of the director of such acclaimed films as The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and Bad Day at Black Rock. Lovell examines Sturges’s childhood in California during the Great Depression; his apprenticeship in the editing department of RKO Pictures, where he worked on such films as Gunga Din and Of Human Bondage; his service in the Army Air Corps in World War II; and his emergence as one of the first independent producer-directors in Hollywood. Chronicling the filmmaker’s relationships with such luminaries as Spencer Tracy, James Garner, Yul Brynner, and Frank Sinatra, Escape Artist interweaves biography with critical analyses of Sturges’s hits and misses. Along the way, Lovell addresses the reasons why Sturges has been overlooked in the ongoing discussion of postwar Hollywood and explores the director’s focus on masculinity, machismo, and male-bonding in big-budget, ensemble action films. Lovell also examines Sturges’s aesthetic sensibility, his talent for composing widescreen images, and his uncanny ability to judge raw talent—including that of Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn, all of whom began their careers in Sturges’s movies. This long overdue study of a major Hollywood director will find a welcome home in the libraries of film scholars, action movie buffs, and anyone interested in the popular culture of the twentieth century. Best Books for Special Interests, selected by the American Association of School Librarians, and Best Books for General Audiences, selected by the Public Library Association "Pick up a copy of film critic and scholar Glenn Lovell's terrific new Sturges biography, Escape Artist. . . . I can't urge you enough to check out this interview-rich, aesthetically and culturally perceptive look at the filmmaker and his work."—Bob Strauss, Los Angeles Daily News “Lovell’s list of interviewees reads like a who’s who of Hollywood and they obviously provided rich source material for this full-scale biography and career survey.”— Leonard Maltin “This long overdue study of a major Hollywood director will find a welcome home in the libraries of film scholars, action movie buffs, and anyone interested in the popular culture of the twentieth century.”—Turner Classic Movies (TCM.com)

This is a fresh and exciting look at the book of Revelation. It is made surprisingly simple with the aid of sacred geometry and the ancient science of Gematria (the Bible's Number Code). Bonnie Gaunt has been researching the Gematria of the Bible for nearly forty years. Her work has received world-wide acclaim. In this, her latest research, she reveals an amazing story that is hidden in the Apocalypse. It is a story that touches the lives of every one of us, because we are living in it. But Apocalypse need not be the picture of doom that some have supposed. It is a beautiful story of hope for a world that surely needs it. Today, with the threat of terrorists and the tragic loss of human life they have wrought, it is comforting to find positive assurance in the prophetic message that has been given to us -- assurance that our world is in safe hands, and under the control of a God who has a magnificent plan for the ultimate joy of His human family.Chapters include: The Apocalypse and its two groups of sevens; The Right of Rulership; The Sevens and Tens of the Apocalypse; Marching Around Jericho; The Treasures of Jericho; The Seventh Trumpet; The Light of Seven Moons; No More Sevens; The Music of the Ages; The Pythagorean Comma seven octaves and twelve perfect fifths.
