Critics Review
“The legendary MacLaine will leave you laughing out loud while scratching your head with questions.”
“Above the Line: My Wild Oats Adventure is MacLaine’s funny new book about the near screwball comedy of errors making the film about a woman (MacLaine) who accidentally receives a life insurance check for \(5 million instead of \)50,000 and is persuaded by her friend (Lange) to keep the money and go to the Canary Islands…But Above the Line is about a lot more than filmmaking.” * Los Angeles Times *
“The author’s insider’s portrait of the moviemaking world sparkles… MacLaine is wickedly honest about moviemaking, sincere and enthusiastic in describing her beliefs, and welcoming in the skepticism of others—it’s all refreshing and fun.” * Kirkus Reviews *
