Transcript of a series of interviews with top screenwriters – William Goldman, Eleanor Perry, Carl Foreman, Robert Towne, Neil Simon. Done around the same time as John Brady’s Craft of the Screenwriter so there is some cross over. Perry’s interview was fascinating – I loved the bit where she talks about trying to get a job adapting The Lonely Lady going “I promise I won’t have integrity”. She died in 1981. I enjoyed hearing from Foreman, who has some very impressive writing credits – he comes across as a bit self important at times, but clever.
