Non-Fiction Biography
"The most revealing, penetrating book on filmmaking I know
of . . ."--King Vidor David O. Selznick was a unique figure in the golden
Hollywood studio era. He produced some of the greatest and
most memorable American films ever made--notably, Rebecca, A
Star Is Born, Anna Karenina, A Farewell to Arms, and, above
all, Gone With the Wind. Selznick's
absolute power and artistic control are evidenced in his
impassioned, eloquent, witty, and sometimes rageful memos to
directors, writers, stars and studio executives, writings
that have become almost as famous as his films. Newsweek
wrote, "I can't imagine how a book on the American movie
business could be more illuminating, more riveting or more
fun to read than this collection of David Selznick's memos.
