With vanity never in short supply, ambitions and tempers and expenses escalated, the director rebelled, the crew balked, and Tom Wolfe would have nothing to do with it. Even so, no one dreamed that the result would be a fiftymilliondollar flop.This book reveals how a bigbudget Hollywood movie really gets made. Julie Salamon had unlimited access to every detail of the production and her riveting inside chronicle illuminates the hidden workings of an industry where art, talent, and money combine and often clash on a monumental scale.
