    Default William Goldman : ADVENTURES IN THE SCREEN TRADE

    author's note

    This book was begun at the greatest time of panic and despair in modern Hollywood history-late January of '82. Future film scholars may well term it " Heaven's Gate era. "

    I don't know. But, I was born in January of '82. Can't wait to see how William Golodman helps carve out my spaghetti Westerns and future writing.

    Hi,

    Yeah, it's a marvellous book IMO, a must-read.

    Didn't Goldman write the screenplay for an SK movie?

    Long days and pleasant nights
