This highly acclaimed account of literary authors who were wooed into writing screenplays for money and fame, depicts screenwriting as an art form, and shows how the authors were creatively challenged to succeed.

The authors' lives were changed by the influence of Hollywood and many met their spouses or had relationships because of it.

Dardis offers a well-research work, segregated into sections by author, with details on contracts, money, negotiations, social activities, love lives, difficulties in writing, slices of used and unused screenplays, documents, and notes and letters.

Very mild fading to edges, else near fine in cream linen over green boards with green embossed titles to the spine; in a near fine dust jacket with tiny tears to the lower spine edge; original $9.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.

Octavo; 274 pages; bibliography; index.

A lovely first edition literary collectible.
