Fly on the wall reporting of one year at 20th Century Fox. Great discussion of the making and marketing of big movies in 1960s Hollywood. Dunne is a breezy writer, making sabre cuts with a light touch.

Blue sky, green trees.

I wanted to read a book by Joan Didion's husband, and this one stood out to me among everything that he'd written. The idea - one year behind the scenes at 20th Century Fox Studios - was intriguing, and it really delivered.
