The Studio
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1979. 1st Paperback Edition. Octavo, publisher’s stiff illustrated paper wraps.
Advanced review copy of the first paperback edition screenwriter, bestselling novelist (and Joan Didion's husband) John Gregory Dunne’s insider's account of 20th Century Fox. Granted unlimited access to the inner workings of the studio in 1967, Dunne provides evocative—and often nightmarish—insights into the behind-the-scenes madness, with a central focus on the publicity campaign for Doctor Doolittle (1967). With appearances by the likes of Tony Curtis, Julie Andrews, Charlton Heston, and Gene Kelly, the motion-picture portrait remains a touchstone in filmmaking nonfiction. Originally published in 1969. Publisher’s review slip laid in. Fine. Item #12919
