There isn't a huge amount of text, the editors put lots of space on the pages, so she didn't have a great deal to say, really (I suppose with Hepburn, it's not what she says but how she says it). Some neat old pictures of the filming (camera in the foreground, scene in the background).

Short, in Ms. Hepburn's distinctive voice. Very funny and revealing of what goes on in the creation of what you see on screen. The subtitle is overdramatic. She never seems close to losing her mind. Frustrated with Mr. Huston, the director, at first, but leaves on with the impression she really enjoyed the whole process and obviously became good friends with the director over the course of making the picture.
Enjoyable, with lots of wonderful pictures.
