En 1970, Elia Kazan aceptó ser entrevistado para un libro que preparaba un joven director de cine, Jeff Young. Su única condición fue que el manuscrito no viera la luz hasta que se publicara su autobiografia. Casi dos años mas tarde, despues de mas de cien sesiones, Young empezo a adivinar que aquel extraordinario material no solo revelaba la metodologia cinematografica de Kazan, sino que ademas decia muchas cosas sobre los actores, productores y guionistas con los que habia colaborado, de James Dean a Marlon Brando, pasando por Tennessee Williams, Vivien Leigh, John Steinbeck y muchos otros. Fue por entonces, coincidiendo con la publicacion del volumen de Kazan, cuando empezo la ardua labor de convertir aquellas conversaciones en un libro. Finalmente publicado en 1999, precisamente cuando se otorgo a Kazan un Oscar honorifico por el conjunto de su carrera, el texto resultante es sobre todo un fascinante recorrido por la filmografia del director en cuestion, pero tambien una indagacion sobre sus metodos y procedimientos, asi como un documento inapreciable sobre la historia del cine norteamericano y su contexto politico, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la epoca de la caza de brujas.
