Minutes of the Last Meeting
Life at John Decker's Studio/home on Bundy Drive in Brentwood, CA. in the late thirties and forties and the men who gathered there. Reminiscences of the poet Sadakichi Hartmann,around whose life the story is wrapped, John Barrymore, the host, artist John Decker and WC Fields as they gather with a supporting cast at Decker's Studio at the end of their lives. Rude, urbane, witty, vicious, caustic, loyal, intrepid, and hard living, these men make for a fascinating read written by one who gathered with them at the last meetings. Fowler was one of the best writers of his age and his intimacy with the subjects is evident in the affection and respect he affords his subjects. Not blind to their faults, a well rounded picture emerges of an age, place,and people that no longer exist; and if you believe Fowler, mores the pity. Tragedy and triumph are talentedly wrapped up in this reminiscence of Hollywood in the Golden Era.
