About this title: Mr. Schulberg was raised in the Hollywood of the 1920s as the privileged son of a pioneer studio mogul. As a book on the early days of the movies in Hollywood-their triumphs and fiascos, their scoundrels and heroes-his candid memoir is hard to beat. A fascinating and significant contribution to American social history.-Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
