Anyone interested in "the old days of Hollywood" is sure to enjoy the book. Even the language feels different from today.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden West: Hollywood Stories (Hardcover)
John Updike provides the introduction to The Golden West: Hollywood Stories, a blend of autobiography and an account of writing for the movies. It was 1937 when nearly-thirty author Fuchs came to Hollywood to provide a play of one of his novels - a contract which would introduce him to a magical city in which he was to spend the rest of his life. Fuchs worked with some of Hollywood's best writers and actors, producing screenplays and prose: The Golden West gathers his writings about his movie business encounters from 1937-39 and again in 1989, making for an intriguing presentation by an industry insider.

I'm actually providing this review before completing this read, but I'm far enough into it to have a pretty good impression. While Fuch's writing is ok, I think the anonymous style storytelling gets old quickly. This would have been a good one to go back, say 20 years later, and fill in the names. Fact is, what I've read so far is not that revealing that would have raised that many eyebrows.
