Book description
Catch Me If You Can: The Film and the Filmmakers delivers exactly what it promises-exclusive access to one of Spielberg's most entertaining true crime dramas.
Jeff Nathanson's companion piece goes beyond typical movie tie-in territory, offering genuine insight into the making of this cat-and-mouse masterpiece. The 100+ color photographs aren't just flashy additions; they capture the meticulous recreation of Frank Abagnale's deceptions, from period-perfect airline cockpits to the FBI offices that Agent Carl Hanratty called home.
What sets this book apart is its dual focus on both storytelling and craftsmanship. You get the complete screenplay alongside behind-the-scenes documentation, making it essential reading for anyone curious about how Spielberg transformed Abagnale's real-life cons into cinematic magic. Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of the teenage impostor feels even more impressive when you see the research and preparation detailed in these pages.
The author's background in screenwriting shines through in the thoughtful analysis of character development and plot structure. Rather than simply retelling the familiar story of Abagnale's forged checks and false identities, Nathanson examines how the film balances dark subject matter with Spielberg's signature sense of wonder.
This isn't just promotional material-it's a legitimate examination of moviemaking process, complete with production stills that reveal how the team captured Abagnale's jet-setting lifestyle without breaking the bank. For film students and casual fans alike, it's an engaging deep dive into transforming extraordinary true events into compelling cinema.
