Title: Previously unpublished details of Selznick's life
Product review: Few producers left so much on record as did David O. Selznick, the legendary producer of Gone with the Wind. This bio has something other bios of Selznick did not- a writer/author who had COMPLETE access to Selznick's papers - everything from notes on actors' contracts to his letters, gambling accounts and financial records. Along with that, there is a complete record of the Making of Gone with the Wind, nearly a disaster before it became a record-breaking triumph. The making Gone with the Wind, however, has been chronicled in other, perhaps better, books. I'd recommend this bio for the look at the private life and business moves of Selznick. And it makes for a fascinating book indeed.
