Doubling for McQueen and Redford

<p> Since Hollywood's first motion-picture stunt players have given blood sweat and tears to the business. From high falls and horse gags to fist-fights fire water-work and automotive mayhem this largely unsung group of action-performers has been making movie violence believable and telling stories through exciting sequences without so much as an Oscar category to acknowledge their work. </p><p> This book follows the careers of Loren Janes and Mickey Gilbert two fabled stunt practitioners born and trained during the pre-CGI film age and shares their secrets of the trade while walking through five decades of movie magic. The fascinating and original conversations discuss some of Hollywood's most action-packed flicks such as <I>Spartacus How the West Was Won Bullitt The Wild Bunch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid</I> and <I>Little Big Man</I>.</p>
