About Adventures in the Screen Trade: A Personal View of Hollywood and Screenwriting

The book is divided into three parts. "<b><i>Part One: Hollywood Realities</i></b>" is a collection of essays on various subjects ranging from movie stars and studio executives to his thoughts on how to begin and end a screenplay and how to write for a movie star.<br><br>"<b><i>Part Two: Adventures</i></b>" has stories from 11 projects that Goldman has been involved with, from Charly and Masquerade, to the Academy Award-winning Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All the President's Men, to some projects that remained unrealised, such as a musical remake of Grand Hotel.<br><br>In "<b><i>Part Three: Da Vinci"</i></b>, Goldman shows the reader how he would go about adapting his own short story "Da Vinci" into a screenplay. The full text of "Da Vinci" and the subsequent screenplay that he wrote are included, followed by interviews with key movie industry figures, including director George Roy Hill, cinematographer Gordon Willis, and composer Dave Grusin.<br><br><i>'I don't know if it's ever been equalled: both a guide to how to write and a guide to how to navigate the experience of being a professional in the industry. Even though he existed at the most exalted level, it never felt like that. It felt democratic and egalitarian in the way he wrote. Before his book, people never really gave thought to screenwriters, their craft, or their place in the ecosystem of movie-making. Bill not only shone a light on that and inspired a whole new generation of writers, he also made movie-making and showbusiness understandable to a vast general audience'&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;-&nbsp;<b>Peter Morgan</b>, writer of&nbsp;<b>The Crown</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Frost/Nixon</b>
