Moonlight and Magnolias
This mile-a-minute go-round revolves around the complete script rewriting of Gone With the Wind after producer David O. Selznick, dissatisfied with the progress of his intended masterpiece, stops production flat and entrusts the new script to Ben Hecht … who has never read the book! What follows is inspired farce, rip-roaring, brimming with witty dialogue – both a satire of and a tribute to movie-making in the old Hollywood. Based upon a real-life happening.
