Description
Film journalists dig up the dirt and reveal what really happened and what might have but really did not, during the filming, but also in earlier stages such as casting. The films range temporally from The Magnificent Ambersons in 1942 to Reds in 1981, and are all iconic in the sense of well known to film buffs and most familiar at least in name even to garden variety recipients of US popular culture. Most of the articles appeared in the entertainment magazine Vanity Fair since 2000, but a few are from the 1990s. They do not include bibliographies, and there is no index.
