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.        \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   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 \u003ci\u003eSpartacus, How the West Was Won, Bullitt, The Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLittle Big Man\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Loren Janes\u003cbr\u003e1. Childhood and the Early Days\u003cbr\u003e2. Going Professional\u003cbr\u003e3. Age of the Flying Cowboys\u003cbr\u003e4. Wrestling Anacondas, Stunt Associations and McQueen\u003cbr\u003e5. When the World Wasn't Padded\u003cbr\u003e6. The Misfits, Taras Bulba and The Greatest Story Ever Told\u003cbr\u003e7. Western Classics: McLintock! and The Sons of Katie Elder\u003cbr\u003e8. ­­­­­­G-Men, Camelot and More\u003cbr\u003e9. From Apes to Frank Bullitt and Beyond\u003cbr\u003e10. Tentpoles and Bogdanovich's Masterpiece Plus Custer's Last Stand\u003cbr\u003e11. Life as a Pro\u003cbr\u003e12. A Hard Day's Night\u003cbr\u003e13. McQueen's Best and Last\u003cbr\u003e14. New Beginnings of a Journeyman Player\u003cbr\u003e15. Cold, Cold, Cold Around the Heart\u003cbr\u003e16. Master of the Tinseltown Universe\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Mickey Gilbert\u003cbr\u003e17. Birth of a Champion\u003cbr\u003e18. A Career Begins: Alvarez Kelly and Peckinpah\u003cbr\u003e19. Cleopatra to Return of a Man Called Horse\u003cbr\u003e20. All in a Day's Work\u003cbr\u003e21. Sydney Pollack, Redford and Belushi\u003cbr\u003e22. Stunt Heaven and Helicopters\u003cbr\u003e23. Old Gringo Rides\u003cbr\u003e24. Return of the Westerns\u003cbr\u003e25. The Fat Lady Sings\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038121197911,"sku":"9780786497775","price":30.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780786497775.jpg?v=1750939124","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/doubling-for-mcqueen-and-redford-9780786497775","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
