Moving Pictures

Memories of a Hollywood Prince

De: Budd Schulberg

Narrado por: Kevin T. Collins

Raised in the Hollywood of the 1920s as the privileged son of a pioneer studio mogul, Budd Schulberg went on to win fame as a distinguished novelist, short story writer, playwright, Oscar-winning screenwriter, and boxing historian.

Moving Pictures is his fascinating remembrance of growing up amidst the glamour, swank, courage, triumphs, defeats, cabals, and double-crosses of an industry in the making. His utterly candid account includes unsparing portraits of outsized characters in all their power, venality, charm, pettiness, and vindictiveness. As a book on the early days of the movies in Hollywood, this one is hard to beat.

Great insight into old Hollywood

This book is great for anyone who wants an inside look into the beginnings of Hollywood.

How the American Film Industry Developed

Excellent memoir of New York City and Los Angeles in the early 20th century and the evolution of the film industry. This is about the most specific and candid account by someone who actually lived the experience.

Good

Very interesting about the start of motion pictures as well as author’s growing up in the start of it all. Narration is passable but the mispronunciation of famous names and places is truly annoying.
