Book review – “The Big Picture” by William Goldman

Entertaining collection of essays by William Goldman on the screen trade of the 1990s. Most of them are excellent, even if too many are about the Oscars. The best bits are the quotes from anonymous studio execs about Hollywood films – they are funny, pungent and all worth reading. I also liked the longer reviews of films, like Saving Private Ryan and Shakespeare in Love.
