Summary: A Brilliant, Insightful Work
Review: I've never been a huge fan of McMurtry, so I was reluctant to read, and even more hesitant to enjoy, this work. However, it took me quite by surprise. Film Flam is a look at the author's experience in the film world. Ever since his first novel, Horseman Pass By, was turned into a film (Hud), McMurtry has had a murky relationship with Hollywood. He tells us what it is like when someone attempts the impossible: to translate the language of fiction into the visual-aural composite of film. This book is witty, insightful, and entertaining.
