A Hollywood scandal & trial viewed by Film Critic
This is one of two books written about the trial of John Landis over the deaths on THE TWILIGHT ZONE MOVIE. This one is written by two film critics and looks not just at the
details of the tragedy, but at how it fits within the Hollywood establish-
ment. According to the fly-leaf, "it exposes the excesses and hubris of the
world's most glamourous and seductive profession." Very accessible, informa-
tive, and entertaining reading. As Hollywood insiders, these authors are more industry-centered in their book than the other book about the Tragedy which is "Special Effects." If you're looking for a more true-crime type story, you're better off with the other book.
