Synopsis

This is an insight into 1930s Hollywood and an epic of laughter.

David O. Selznick is determined to rewrite Gone with the Wind.

He engages the services of “script doctor” Ben Hecht, who has never read the book, and director Victor Fleming, poached straight from the set of The Wizard of Oz.

Press Reviews

"An affectionate portrait of the legendary movie producer David O. Selznick and his collaborators… plenty of genuine wit in the dialogue, and the characters are drawn with such affection that one can’t help but cheer for them."

— New York Post

"A Hollywood dream-factory farce."

— Chicago Sun Times

"Consumers of vintage Hollywood insider stories will eat up Hutchinson’s diverting conjecture as to what actually happened behind those closed doors."

— Variety
