The Devil's Candy: The Anatomy of a Hollywood FiascoWhen Brian De Palma agreed to allow Julie Salamon unlimited access to the film production of Tom Wolfe's best selling book The Bonfire of the Vanities, both director and journalist must have felt like they were on to something big. How could it lose? But instead Salamon got a front row seat at the Hollywood disaster of the decade. She shadowed the film from its early stages through the last of the eviscerating reviews, and met everyone from the actors
When Brian De Palma agreed to allow Julie Salamon unlimited access to the film production of Tom Wolfe's best-selling book The Bonfire of the Vanities, both director and journalist must have felt like they were on to something big. How could it lose? But instead Salamon got a front-row seat at the Hollywood disaster of the decade. She shadowed the film from its early stages through the last of the eviscerating reviews, and met everyone from the actors to the technicians to the studio executives. They'd all signed on for a blockbuster, but there was a sense of impending doom from the start--heart-of-gold characters replaced Wolfe's satiric creations; affable Tom Hanks was cast as the patrician heel; Melanie Griffith appeared mid-shoot with new, bigger breasts. With a keen eye and ear, Salamon shows us how the best of intentions turned into a legendary Hollywood debacle. The Devil's Candy joins John Gregory Dunne's The Studio, Steven Bach's Final Cut, and William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade as a classic for anyone interested in the workings of Hollywood. With a new afterword profiling De Palma ten years after the movie's devastating flop (and this book's best-selling publication), Julie Salamon has created a riveting insider's portrait of an industry where art, talent, ego, and money combine and clash on a monumental scale.Binding Type: Paperback

Wonderful and useful book.
Format: Kindle
I am very glad I purchased this book. I used it over and over again. Wrote many notes and it added much value to pursue my cases at courts. This is a true asset for providing an overall overview with much advice.
I also purchased his other book The Winning Brief, but that is only available in paper format and it is mainly for linguistic help in writing briefs for appellate court, for the purpose of really perfecting your writing. At lower courts or supreme courts you just do not have the time to think in that much details and these courts may not even read it. You are lucky if you can say two sentences on court appearances. They do not put that much into details when making judgments, so most likely your case ends up in the appellate, and here that book becomes valuable too - The Winning Brief.
Again, this book really excellent and pleasant to read. The Kindle version was easy to search for anything, word, phrase, notes.
5 star book. THANKS.
