In his enjoyable memoir, he illustrates that breaking into the film business is not for the faint of heart. After knocking down the door to Hollywood, it took a lot of hard work, passion, and perseverance to finally reach his goal. His insights are laced with humor and are a delight to read.Robert Zemeckis Producing is problem solving and Starko is one of the best. His journey to become a producer is both crazy and inspiring, and his passion and enthusiasm helped create some wonderful movies.Frank Marshall Breaking and Entering is more than "the education of a producer," as the subtitle says." It is a valuable and extremely entertaining blueprint - for anyone interested in the film business -on how to think like a producer, act like a producer, and be a producer.
