Title: An Unexpected Treat
Review: What a magnificent job Stuart has done with this intricate, intelligent history of one of the seminal films of the last century. Clearly possessing the diligence of a detective (or an archaeologist), Stuart has researched every aspect of "Nashville"'s creation and production, as well as its place in history, and has come up with a stylishly written, highly readable book. He makes a strong case for the film as a kind of happy accident in which a wild cast of characters--before and behind the camera--collided and created a masterpiece. Reading this book makes one want to weep for the state of the American film industry today, which could never produce another "Nashville" if it tried.
