Synopsis
The story of the rise and fall of Palace Pictures. It is the story of a company's fight to produce and distribute films during a period when the British film industry was deemed dead. Soaring from the giddy heights of success to the depths of ultimate failure, it is the story of two mavericks--Nik Powell and Steve Woolley, who hit the British film industry by storm, gaining instant acclaim and fame. They produced a string of huge box-office hits: "Scandal", "The Company of Wolves," "The Crying Game" QUOTES FROM NIK POWELL: "Why run a big company well when you can run a small one badly? "Harvey (Weinstein) is a great believer that sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll shouldn't only be in the province of the music business." QUOTES FROM STEVE WOOLLEY: "There's no such thing as too much hype." "I felt cool about Hollywood. I wasn't phased at all that Arnold Schwarzenegger woudl be sitting at the table next to me." This is Angus Finney's first book! Foreward by Kurt Vonnegut
