Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. This book collects Willoughby's candid photographs from the sets of various great films since the 1950s. Also included are filmographies of the directors with whom he has worked. As the subtitle indicates, he really has collaborated with many of the great cinema luminaries. Beginning with Vincente Minnelli, they include Orson Welles, William Wellman, George Stevens, Mike Nichols, William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, and others. The most interesting aspect of this book is indisputably the photos (most of them black and white), many of which were shot in informal settings, showing directors and actors in seemingly unguarded moments. He made himself seem invisible, Willoughby said, by blending in with the movie crew, once he realized they were invisible to the actors. In turn, he revealed 'actors and actresses as themselves, not merely as characters they played,' the Times of London reported in 2003. Willoughby turned his lens on many of the movie legends, including Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart and Elizabeth Taylor.
