The Devil's Candy: The Anatomy of a Hollywood FiascoWhen Brian De Palma agreed to allow Julie Salamon unlimited access to the film production of Tom Wolfe's best selling book The Bonfire of the Vanities, both director and journalist must have felt like they were on to something big. 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
When Brian De Palma agreed to allow Julie Salamon unlimited access to the film production of Tom Wolfe's best-selling book The Bonfire of the Vanities, both director and journalist must have felt like they were on to something big. 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. With a keen eye and ear, Salamon shows us how the best of intentions turned into a legendary Hollywood debacle. The Devil's Candy joins John Gregory Dunne's The Studio, Steven Bach's Final Cut, and William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade as a classic for anyone interested in the workings of Hollywood. With a new afterword profiling De Palma ten years after the movie's devastating flop (and this book's best-selling publication), Julie Salamon has created a riveting insider's portrait of an industry where art, talent, ego, and money combine and clash on a monumental scale.Binding Type: Paperback

An incredible and Amazing Life Changing Book!
Format: Paperback
This book has changed my life! Extremely in depth and thorough research by the author, yet his writing style is very enjoyable to read. He presents the material to the reader so that it can be enjoyed and understood. He has great knowledge of the Greek language and has translated many versus of scripture throughout the bible to bring out a better meaning of those scriptures. Rick Renner has brought up points throughout the book that has changed my way of thinking; starting with the Bible itself, and how it can change you, Prayer, the Holy Spirit, Worship, Ablaze for Souls, Generosity, Holiness, Humility, Authority of the Believer, and Fear of the Lord. I especially appreciate his teaching on being ablaze for souls, where he discussed the reality of Hell, and how we should all be out there witnessing to those who are lost. Every chapter I read, has stirred an awakening in me, and this book has been like a 'wake up call' to my life and the way I have been living. For every Christian out there, this a 'must need to read' book, and I highly recommend it.
