Soon after Demme's father introduced him to producer Joesph E. Levine who offered the young man a press agent position at Avco embassy. Several years of this work led Demme to Roger Corman who he met publicising the famed director's Von richthofen and Brown; the two quickly fostered a successful buisness partnership and an even longer-lasting friendship.

Reviews of Silence of the lambs 

• All sorts of macabre things have gone on, and are still going on just offscreen, in Jonahan Demme's swift, witty new suspence thriller (The New York times)
• "The Silence of the Lambs" is delicious with foreboding, a masterly suspense thriller that toys with our anticipation like a well-fed cat. Adroitly directed by Jonathan Demme, it lurks about the exquisite edge of horror, before finally leaping into an unholy maw of bloody bones and self-awareness. (Washington post)
• All creative hands are at the top of their form in "The Silence of the Lambs," a mesmerizing thriller that will grip audiences from first scene to last and generate solid B.O.  (variety)
