{"product_id":"9780962990939","title":"Journey South (Alan \u0026 Lotte Marcus Legacy Series)","description":"The saga of the screenplay you're about to read really begins the day that I broke my self-imposed rule about getting involved with \"complicated\" ( i.e. \"serious\" )subject matter in my hit-and-run career as a screenwriter for the movies. I had come to Hollywood in 1949 as an invited author of prize-winning fictions, ---and saw writing for film a good way to subsidize my profound commitment to the art of prose --- having learned that -in the majority of cases, -- the General Motors assembly line model of filmmaking --which Hollywood pioneered, ------------(and prospered from!) ---pretty much means that the pervasive confusion-- or collision between \"Art\" and Commerce---- which runs like a Wagnerian leitmotif through many aspects of mass film making, -- is apt to be trumped sooner or later by the pluses and minuses of The Bottom Line; thus, anyone foolish enough to take seriously the ongoing rhetorical (off-stage) palaver one tends to keep hearing about the unexploited \"potential\" of film as a medium to plumb the \"enigmatic\" depths of human experience etc..-is eventually going to hit a brick wall, as I witnessed, firsthand, more than once, ........In my particular case, I certainly DID work (under a pseudonym) on some favorite projects of various producers now and then, in both film and television --But on the whole, I simply found it more congenial to my temperament to follow a freewheeling (figurative) surfboarding life as a free lance, where, if you weren't able to reach success (i.e. pay dirt!) on any particular try, you could always try again.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAlan Marcus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eOther Shores Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eFeb 12, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e164 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0962990930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780962990939\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Other Shores Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48436877361457,"sku":"9780962990939","price":14.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9780962990939.jpg?v=1709664990","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/es\/products\/9780962990939","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
