The Best American Movie Writing Book

Libby Gelman-Waxner's hilarious look at Barbra Streisand's The Mirror Has Two Facesalone is worth the cover price of this book. "Ms." Gelman-Waxner's loving, dead-on, and intensely cruel skewering of Streisand's ego is funny even if you're the biggest Streisand fan in the world, as Gelman-Waxner is. If you want more, there's screenwriter Evan Hunter's glorious recollections of his days with Alfred Hitchcock, Jill Robinson's chilling portrait of Roman Polanski, and essays by such luminaries as Alice Walker, Martin Scorcese, and George Plimpton. While I was sorry to see nothing by Anthony Lane, the 23 essays in this book are all good reading, well chosen by editor Plimpton, who can be forgiven even for including himself because his piece is one of the best. --James DiGiovannaRead More
