Filmmakers have always altered the details of true stories and actual persons, living or dead, to make narratives more workable and characters more compelling. When truth and fantasy become inextricably mixed, the effect on people's lives can be significant, even devastating. In its expanded second edition, this examination of fact-based films and the law presents an updated history of legal issues surrounding the on-screen embellishment of reality, with a focus on important court decisions and the use of disclaimers. Seventeen courtroom dramas are given fact-versus-fiction analyses-The Perfect Storm (1991) is covered in extensive detail. A concluding chapter is devoted to actors who became so identified with fictionalized characters that they sought exclusive rights to those personas" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Biographical films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of, in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Film / History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW / Media & the Law. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Biographical films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832143 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of, in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985221 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027340 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230217010618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D96DCCE0AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
