Ronald Neames autobiography takes its title from one of his best-loved films  The Horses Mouth (1958)  starring Alec Guinness. In an informative and entertaining style  Neame discusses the making of that film  along with several others  including In Which We Serve  Blithe Spirit  Brief Encounter  Great Expectations  Tunes of Glory  I Could Go on Singing  The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie  Scrooge  The Poseidon Adventure  and Hopscotch.  Straight from the Horses Mouth provides a fascinating  first-hand account of a unique filmmaker  who began his career as assistant cameraman on Hitchcocks first talkie  Blackmail  and went on to direct Maggie Smith  Judy Garland  Walter Matthau  and many other prominent performers. The book includes tales of the on-and-off-the-set antics of comedian George Formby  and original accounts of his experiences working with Noel Coward and David Lean. This is not simply an autobiography  but rather a history of British cinema from the 1920s through the 1960s  and Hollywood cinema from the 1960s through the present.  Aside from Neames own writing  the book contains original commentary by many of his contemporaries and associates including Alec Guinness  Andrew Lloyd Webber  Shirley MacLaine  Walter Matthau  John Mills and Shelley Winters.
