How could it lose? But instead Salamon got a front-row seat at the Hollywood disaster of the decade. She shadowed the film from its early stages through the last of the eviscerating reviews, and met everyone from the actors to the technicians to the studio executives. They'd all signed on for a blockbuster, but there was a sense of impending doom from the start -- heart-of-gold characters replaced Wolfe's satiric creations; affable Tom Hanks was cast as the patrician heel; Melanie Griffith appeared mid-shoot with new, bigger breasts. This insider's portrait provides an account of an industry where art, talent, ego, and money combine and clash on a monumental scale. 630 00 $a Bonfire of the vanities (Motion picture) 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 630 04 $a Bonfire of the vanities (US, Brian de Palma, 1990) 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210115010212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5346CEEA56FF11EB8B1982EF39ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
