There is more to Warren BeattyMarch 28, 2000 Anja Kootz(New York City, USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The best thing about the book are definitely its photographs. They at least pay tribute to Warren Beatty. Otherwise I feel a bit disappointed about the unambitious way the book treats Beatty's film carreer. The basic impression one gets when reading the book is that Warren Beatty hasn't done much and what he's done he could have done better. "Splendor in the Grass", "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Reds" which are terrific movies are reduced to Beatty's good looks, which in Quirk's opinion do not qualify him for the roles. The same criticsm appears for Beatty's political ambitions. So the whole book has a "Who does Beatty think he is" notion which does not in any way give credit to the beauty of the movies and the courage and efforts that are behind them. But once again: beautiful photographs!
