Yay, this book is waiting for me to pick up at my local library. Can't wait!
Reading it right now. Fascinating.
I still can't help but think of what that film would have been like directed by Truffaut.
It's a great book! Just started reading it a few days ago. Mark Harris has done an amazing amount of research!
Now someone please write a book on the current state of Hollywood...
Yes, I just got to that part, too!

The 5 movies are:
Doctor Dolittle
Bonnie & Clyde
The Graduate
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

All representing the diversity and confusion in Hollywood at that time.
