Please forgive the late response to your post...I live in the South and after being battered by severe thunderstorms my power was out for several days!
I have read "Easy Riders and Raging Bulls". Interesting book. I have also taken a look at the author's new book on independent films, but have not found the time to read that one yet.
I am fascinated by the handful of directors that have the ability to make whatever they want and then make..."The Outsiders", or "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace". It is one thing for Dennis Hopper to make "The Last Movie" and then not get a directing job for, what, 15 years. It is another thing for Coppola to direct "Jack".
Pauline Kael once wrote words to the effect that perhaps directing was a young man's job because of the energy it took and the effort it demanded to find the money.
And yes, while Hitchcock did not fare well after 1963's "The Birds", at least we have the small gem of 1972's "Frenzy"!
