It focuses on casting pioneer Marion Dougherty, an iconoclast whose exquisite taste, tenacity and gut instincts brought a new kind of actor to the screen that would mark the end of the old studio system and help to usher in this revolutionary new period. The film draws a line through the last half century to show us the profession’s evolution from studio system type-casting to the rise of large ensemble films populated with unique and diverse casts. In their July 25, 2013 cover story on the film ("Rise of the Casting Directors"), ''Backstage'' wrote, "the film features what is arguably the greatest assemblage of talking-head star power in any documentary ever made."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.backstage.com/interview/casting-aims-give-cds-credit-where-due/ )〕 The interviewees include numerous Hollywood legends: Woody Allen, Ed Asner, Jeanine Basinger, Ned Beatty, Tony Bill, Peter Bogdanovich, Stephen Bowie, Jeff Bridges, Glenn Close, Ronny Cox, Robert De Niro, Richard Donner, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Taylor Hackford, Paul Haggis, Jerome Hellman, Buck Henry, Arthur Hiller, Norman Jewison, Diane Lane, Ed Lauter, Norman Lear, John Lithgow, Gary Marsh, Paul Mazursky, Bette Midler, Al Pacino, David Picker, Robert Redford, James Rosin, John Sayles, Jerry Schatzberg, Martin Scorsese, Terry Semel, Ralph Senensky, James Sheldon, Cybill Shepherd, Susan Smith, Oliver Stone, Mel Stuart, John Travolta, Jon Voight, Paula Weinstein, Burt Young. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Casting By」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
