The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark
Author: Derek Taylor
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Published: August 12, 1981
Following the crew to Tunisia, the late Derek Taylor had plenty to say on the technical aspects of filming on location. He brings an outsider view of the trials of filming in the harsh environs of the Sahara Desert and speaks to many of the crew and cast. Very nice black and white pictures that you just won't find anywhere else. Tozeur and Sidi Bouhlel (Star Wars Canyon) are brought vividly to life. In the same style and spirit of Alan Arnold's definitive The Making of The Empire Strikes Back.
