From the Inside Flap
n Gregory Dunne asked for unlimited access to the inner workings of Twentieth Century Fox. Miraculously, he got it. For one year Dunne went everywhere there was to go and talked to everyone worth talking to within the studio. He tracked every step of the creation of pictures like "Dr. Dolittle," "Planet of the Apes," and "The Boston Strangler." The result is a work of reportage that, thirty years later, may still be our most minutely observed and therefore most uproariously funny portrait of the motion picture business.Whether he is recounting a showdown between Fox's studio head and two suave shark-like agents, watching a producer's girlfriend steal a silver plate from a restaurant, or shielding his eyes against the glare of a Hollywood premiere where the guests include a chimp in a white tie and tails, Dunne captures his subject in all its showmanship, savvy, vulgarity, and hype. Not since F. Scott Fitzgerald and Nathanael West has anyone done Hollywood be

One of the best ever depictions of a movie studio in action. The author was given full access to what went on at Twentieth Century Fox, and uses his literary skills to fine advantage to give a full view of the successes and (especially) the failures of those in charge. Written with great insight and humor.
Best book ever written about the workings of a studio. Mid sixties and covers Planet of the Apes, Doctor Dolittle and some great TV from Irwin Allen. I doubt anyone will be given access like this again.
An nteresting story full of detail and name-dropping, very similar to the style of brother Dominick, which I also like.
Excellent look at the studio system in the late 1960s as told by author John Gregory Dunne, a master writer.
excellent
Although a little dated (originally written circa 1969) this is still one of the great inside stories about what goes on (or more precisely did go on) in the old Hollywood. Written about the time that the old studio system finally collapsed, it collects some great anecdotes for film buffs. Besides, it is well written.
I'd heard so much about this classic book that I was disappointed reading it. So much more dirt has been exposed about the films and studio he discusses that the book now sounds complimentary to the studio and the film Dr. Doolittle that was destroying it. The actual shooting of Dr. Doolittle was much worse than is described, Rex Harrison was a terrible, arrogant, racist drunk, and everyone involved in Dunne's narrative were so much more cruel and dumb that the book, 35 years after it was first published ,seems benign.
I loved the Doctor Dolittle books when I was a child, but I had no desire to see the Hollywood musical based on it when it came out in 1967. Although I'd loved movie musicals like Annie Get Your Gun and Singin' in the Rain even before I'd started reading Doctor Dolittle, books, I knew any I saw in 1967 would be, somehow, lifeless.Why did the Hollywood musical more or less die out as an art form after 1960? That question is one of the things The Studio touches on, although it doesn't focus on it. It's more about the business end of Hollywood, and its concentration on the Doctor Dolittle musical seems fortuitous-- it's just what happened to be on the table when Dunne got the ok to write the book. But I wish it could have been more about the artistic reasons for the Doctor Dolittle musical's failure, because that's more important than its business failure.It would be an oversimplified cliche to say that the Hollywood musical failed as art because it became more of a business, but there may be some truth in it. Dunne's book certainly doesn't unearth much artistic motivation, although he doesn't seem to be looking for it. It's a good, deadpan satire of Hollywood businessmen, but it could have been more. Not that the businessmen were all that bad. Dunne seems to have rather liked most of them, and, compared to today's industry, there was a kind of innocent generosity in their willingness to spend 18 million dollars on a movie about a man who loved animals so much he learned to talk with them. When an animal appears in a movie today, chances are that the plot calls for people to kill it in some nasty way, or vice versa.
