Octavo; hardcover, quarter-bound in papered boards with gilt spine-titling and a blind-stamped upper board decoration; 326pp., with 16pp. of monochrome plates. Text block top edge spotted. Dustwrapper very lightly rubbed; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good to near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Legend has it that Hollywood lures gifted writers into its service with sunshine and money, only to treat them as glorified typists and plot-mechanics, peripheral to the main business of moviemaking. This is what Ian Hamilton describes as 'the writer-in-chains saga that emerges from any study of Hollywood during its so-called golden years - the period I have marked as running from 1915-1951.' But in this superb account of what befell the likes of Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Chandler and Huxley by working for the Dream Factory, Hamilton argues that these writers 'were in the movies by choice: they earned far more money than their colleagues who did not write for films, and in several cases they applied themselves conscientiously to the not-unimportant task at hand. And they had a lot of laughs.'.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. This is an informative study of the lives and contributions to the movie business of the many, and sometimes distinguished, writers who stood out of the limelight in Hollywood and rarely received fair credit.: Fitzgerald, Hammett, Chandler, Faulkner, and West. Hamilton also explores the world of the professional screenwriters, those ex-newspapermen, failed playwrights, and New York wits who flooded into Hollywood during the Great Talkies Panic and stayed to take both the big money and the indignity of toiling on a literary assembly line, producing scripts that were then red-penciled by Hays Office censors, studio moguls, martinet directors, and wartime propagandists. Here are the long fight over the Screen Writers Guild, the story of the Hollywood Ten, and the conflicting political pressures that wracked the industry during the pre- and postwar years. Here are not just the spectacular failures, but those writers like P.G. Wodehouse who took the money and ran, and those life Ben Hecht, Nunnally Johnson, Herman Mankiewicz, and Anita Loos--highly paid professionals who produced box office successes still loved by moviegoers sixty years later.
