Summary:

"During the 1970s, Larry Cohen's name was linked with the new wave of independent film directors, such as Wes Craven, Brian DePalma and Tobe Hooper, whose early work promised a revitalization of a classical Hollywood tradition. Part One focuses on his films and television work and Part Two consists of an interview with Cohen and his collaborators"-- Provided by publisher.
