Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Illustrated by (cover design) Patti Ratchford (illustrator). 1st Modern Library paperback edition. [a bit of wear at base of spine, very slight wrinkle at top right corner of front cover, light age-toning to edges of text block]. (Modern Library: The Movies) Series Trade PB (B&W photographs) An endlessly fascinating read-through of the correspondence files of the legendary producer of GONE WITH THE WIND and other classics (and an occasional non-classic) -- albeit, as editor Behlmer explains in his foreword, presenting "a rather one-sided case, with no opportunity for the several victims of Selznick's unhappiness or, in some instances, wrath, to offer rebuttals or countercharges." The selection of memos -- from among two thousand file boxes of Selznick's papers -- was a monumental task, and although it was by necessity a highly selective process, at the end you feel like you've gotten a pretty comprehensive picture of DOS -- "at times pontificating and overly fussy," as the editor allows, but "also brilliant, knowledgeable, tasteful, painstaking, and possessed by what he was doing." The book itself was something of a landmark of cinema scholarship: never before had a book of film history (or biography) been presented as an assemblage of primary documents, and it's not saying too much to state that it raised the bar for future film historians' excavation of such archives. Quite fittingly included in the important bibliography "100 Books on Hollywood & the Movies." This edition contains a new introduction by Roger Ebert, as well as a series introduction by Martin Scorsese. (Thankfully, the original edition's introduction by S.N. Behrman has been retained as well.) (xx).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Photographs (illustrator). 1st Edition. David O Selznick was one of Hollywood's towering figures for over a quarter of a century. For years his impassioned and eloquent memorandums to directors, writers, stars, and studio executives have been as famous as his films, noted for their rage and impertinence as much as for their wit. The most colorful and revealing of the legendary producers memos, letters, and telegrams have been gathered together in one volume. They fully bear out his claim that what made him different from other producers was the fact that he was 'interested in the thousands and thousands of details that go into the making of a film.' Indeed, he was possessed by them: from the fit of Clark Gable's collar to the lighting and photography of his discovery Jennifer Jones. Surely this is one of the most exciting, candid, and important volumes ever to emerge from Hollywood. Book.
