Book review - "Vanity Fair's Tales of Hollywood'
Entertaining collection of behind the scenes stories of the making of a number of films. Some are familiar but worth hearing again (Rebel Without a Cause, Cleopatra, All About Eve), others surprising choices but enjoyable ones (The Best of Everything, Sweet Smell of Success). The occasional irritating error (someone claims that before John Travolta no TV star had become a movie star), and the chapter on Tommy is really annoying because it's just a review and doesn't talk about the making of the film.
