	So You Want to be a Producer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		His or her range of responsibilities might include, but not be limited to, arranging for a film's financing, commissioning and shaping the screenplay, hiring the director and actors and crew, approving the shooting schedule, making product-placement deals, helping with marketing and publicity and fielding the endless day-to-day problems that come up at every turn.
		Nothing is easy, then, as Turman demonstrates again and again; certainly the producer's two main jobs, "hustling all the time" and "looking for that one great story," are enough to fill a day or a lifetime without all the other distractions.
		Turman's book isn't the definitive guide to such things -- for such a book, he rightly notes, is an impossibility given all the variables.

	An Insider’s Look at the Film Biz
		Lawrence Turman answers that question — and plenty of others — in his book “So You Want to Be a Producer” (Three Rivers Press/Random House).
		Turman said that for him, the choice of which film to make has always come from the heart.
		While filming is under way, a producer often has the least to do, Turman said, “if he or she has done their planning and pre-production well,” that is. “Then it’s a matter of crisis management if or when things go wrong.

	Variety.com - Reviews - What's the Worst That Could Happen?
		Nothing in Lawrence's uninspired perfperf justifies the Dortmunder-to-Kevin transformation, with the many dead moments giving one plenty of time to recall Robert RedfordRobert Redford's wry turn as the thief in "The Hot Rock,'' which remains the best Dortmunder pic.
		Lawrence does his usual mugging, and even though material has been stretched to admit some loud farcical business, it's nowhere near the raucous level Lawrence likes to play at.
		As much as Lawrence is a fish partly out of water, DeVito is in his element as Fairbanks -- maybe too much so, for this feels like a less-energetic replay of DeVito's other incorrigible egomaniacs.

	The Graduate (1967) - Movie Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Turman sent a copy of the book to the for- mer comedian for his opinion on its filmic possibilities.
		Turman, having finished producing the entertaining but flimsy The Flim Flam Man, was now ready to embark on The Graduate with Nichols as director, and Calder Willingham writing the screenplay.
		Lawrence Turman, years later, admitted that when there were screenings at his house people would come up to him and say, 'It's a shame.

	Cooley High (REGION 1) (NTSC) : Reviews, Prices, Deals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This isn't just three young guys hanging around having fun, this is a gritty, honest, realistic look at the experiences of a group of poor African-American teenagers living on the other side of the tracks in 1964 Chicago.
		The two main characters are Preacher, played by Glynn Turman, and Cochise, played by Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs.
		Preach is a smart young man who wants to become a screenwriter in Hollywood, and Cochise is a star athlete with a recently-acquired scholarship to Grambling.

	NPR : The Graduate, Present at the Creation
		Turman found a copy of The Graduate, and thought highly enough of the story that he made a movie he considered to be 90-percent faithful to the book.
		The movie ends with a shot of the pair sitting in the rear window of a bus, their elation fading into blank stares as they head off for who knows where.
		The twist came courtesy of Nichols, who Turman hired on the strength of his work on a production of Barefoot in the Park, in addition to his standup routine with Elaine May. Nichols, along with screenwriter Buck Henry, delivered a movie ripe with quotable lines and creative shots.

	Reviews & Essays: "The Graduate (1967)"
		It was Turman who bought the rights to the little-known Webb novel, worked for a year to get the movie filmed, and hired Nichols.
		Turman said Redford made a screen test but was "too physically assured for the part.
		Redford gave a terrific test of a skillful, wonderful actor whose own qualities were totally wrong for the role.

	Cooley High Dvd (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Set in Chicago in 1964, the movie follows aspiring writer Preach (Glynn Turman) and local basketball star Cochise (Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, who went on to star in Welcome Back, Kotter) as they wander their neighborhood, drifting in and out of their classes at Cooley Vocational High School.
		The two friends pull pranks, crash parties, commit petty crimes, and generally try to enjoy their lives in an impoverished urban environment.
		It's a roughly made movie, but Turman and Jacobs are both excellent, and there's an attention to reality that makes it engaging, refreshing, and ultimately moving.

	Want to be a Producer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Bottom line: A veteran Hollywood producer shares hard-learned tricks of the trade but warns that not everyone is cut out for the job.
		The producer is the person on a movie set who makes sure everyone shows up and knows what to do when -- and who knows beforehand what's being served for lunch.
		Those films have their medium and their producer in common, but each is very different -- except, Turman reveals, insofar as each one required endless and constant work from conception to release and after.

	Mike Nichols - New York Times
		The project, originally a novel by a young writer named Charles Webb, was brought to Nichol's attention by Turman, who was struck by the story's "pertinence to the present scene." Benjamin, says the 40-year-old Turman, reflects an important element in today's youth.
		The biggest problem with The Graduate is casting the three main roles, according to Nichols and Turman.
		They are looking for a 22-year old boy to play Benjamin, a young girl to play Elaine, a Berkley student who is Benjamin's romantic interest, and Mrs.

	Cooley High
		The story here takes place in Chicago, 1964, and revolves around a poet named Preach (played by Glynn Turman), basketball player Cochise (played by Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs), their other buddies, and what goes on in the day-to-day lives of these teens in urban life.
		Their life at school and impoverished environment is not easy, but the film never depicts them in the negative light as is often shown in other blaxploitation films, and among them the two uproarious, riotous leads played by Glynn Turman and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs are excellent.
		Turman is a bespectaled boy with a dream of becoming a writer, and with his friend Jacobs enjoy his life -- chasing a girl, cutting classes to go to a zoo hanging behind a bus, and having a midnight joy ride.

		Turman is a producer with 35 features to his credit and he was talking about Hollywood's sudden interest in Jonathan Lebed, the 15-year-old kid who got in hot water with the Securities and Exchange Commission for touting lightly traded stocks on Yahoo!
		Screenwriters and producers, like Turman, who made a stab at the rights himself, do see a movie in Lebed, but only if key facts and circumstances are changed.
