Publisher's Summary
Now available as an audiobook for the first time!
No one knows the writer's Hollywood more intimately than William Goldman. Two-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter and the best-selling author of Marathon Man, Tinsel, Boys and Girls Together, and other novels, Goldman now takes you into Hollywood's inner sanctums...on and behind the scenes for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, and other films...into the plush offices of Hollywood producers...into the working lives of acting greats such as Redford, Olivier, Newman, and Hoffman...and into his own professional experiences and creative thought processes in the crafting of screenplays. You get a firsthand look at why and how films get made and what elements make a good screenplay.
Says columnist Liz Smith, "You'll be fascinated."
Critic Reviews
"[This] is that big, sad, funny, incisive, revelatory, gossipy, perception-forming book about Hollywood that publishers have been promoting for years - and now the real thing is finally here." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
"A deliciously honest book...Goldman deserves a special Read of the Year award." (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland)

Legendary book now on audible.
This book is famous for so many quotes about Hollywood. I enjoyed hearing the stories and this book is so well narrated and perfectly captured the authors voice.

Great, Except for the Last 3 Hours!!
A great listen; however, the last three hours are arduous. I loved it until it reached this point.

Not many adventures
I wanted adventures in the screen trade. It feels like he wrote the book he wanted to buy in the New York book store, IE how to write a screen play. I was frequently bored.
