Book review – “Memo from David O Selznick” Ed Rudy Behlmer

Excellent collection of memos from the famed producer whose record during the Golden Years of Hollywood is second to none. His record in the post-war environment was a little more iffy; the memos reveal a man with great insight and ideas, a considerable ego, and real talent. Fascinating reading (although David Thompson in his biography of Selznick claims that this book make Selznick seem more decisive than he actually was).
