Zusammenfassung:"Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett wrote the screenplays for some of America's most treasured movies, including It's a Wonderful Life, The Thin Man, Easter Parade, Father of the Bride, Naughty Marietta, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Legendary films, indeed, but writing both the play and screenplay for The Diary of Anne Frank was their crowning achievement. Their drama based on Anne Frank's immortal diary won the Pulitzer Prize and created controversy that still persists." "The Real Nick and Nora is a assemblage of anecdotes featuring some of the most talented writers and the brightest lights of American stage and screen. The work was arduous, the parties luminous. On any given night, guests singing and acting out scripts at a party might include F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sheilah Graham, S.J. Perelman, Oscar Levant, Ogden Nash, Judy Garland, Abe Burrows, Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer, Ira Gershwin, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Pat O'Brien, Dick Powell and June Allyson, Dashiell Hammett, Lillian Hellman, James Cagney, and Dorothy Parker. Featuring twenty-one illustrations, The Real Nick and Nora is a behind-the-scenes pass into the Hollywood and Broadway of yesteryear."--Jacket
