it's interesting, this book never feels rough around the edges, but there's something naive about the craft — a great novel it is not, but propulsive? absolutely. the prose is simple, clear, and gorgeous. the ideas and themes are watertight. absolutely inhaled it.

Not the best commentary on Anderson, his career, or his work. In fact, it's a bit of an assassination of Anderson. Filled with much gossip, speculation, and a great deal of talk about himself, Gavin Lambert. In fact, this is book is mainly about Gavin Lambert. With the title and all, it's a sort of last gasp attempt at being witty, I guess.

Old Hollywood, as told by an insider... A journey back in time to a forgotten world, made sweeter by an eminent producer's rollerball margin notes.

I love love love this book about the making of one of my favorite movies. As a kid I loved to page through the pictures and now it's fun to actually read it lol. The writing is so-so and very gossipy but it's a fun quick read and full of information about what went on behind the scenes. If you love Gone with the Wind, you have to track down a copy.
