Which Lie Did I Tell?
Which Lie Did I Tell?: More Adventures in the Screen Trade | William Goldman
1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
From the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Princess Bride (he also wrote the novel), and the bestselling author of Adventures in the Screen Trade comes a garrulous new book that is as much a screenwriting how-to (and how-not-to) manual as it is a feast of insider information. If you want to know why a no-name like Kathy Bates was cast in Misery-it's in here. Or why Linda Hunt's brilliant work in Maverick didn't make the final cut-William Goldman gives you the straight truth. Why Clint Eastwood loves working with Gene Hackman and how MTV has changed movies for the worse-William Goldman, one of the most successful screenwriters in Hollywood today, tells all he knows. Devastatingly eye-opening and endlessly entertaining, Which Lie Did I Tell? is indispensable reading for anyone even slightly intrigued by the process of how a movie gets made. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Lola @balletbookworm 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻And we have a winner!!! 😊Big hole in my reading life. I just saw @ReadingEnvy's post about a low key buddy read for this one in May. I think the Universe is telling me it's time 8y
balletbookworm I took a wild guess bc that came up on several others' 10 books posts. It is a good one :) 8y
Lola @balletbookworm it's one that's. Even on my list forever and it gets continually pushed aside for other new shiny books. #booknerdproblems. Your assessment will help move it closer to the top 😊At least I'm not alone 😂 (edited) 8y

Lola @ReadingEnvy Your timing couldn't be more perfect! 😊 8y
