Salamon tells the tale of the making of Bonfire of the Vanities into a film. It provides an incredibly detailed view of the many aspect of moviemaking, any of which can turn a good product into a bad one. She notes the thought process behind many of the decisions that were made for the film, many of the decisions bad and costly ones. It is unique in my reading to have such an inside view covering such a wide range of information. A must read for anyone who loves cinema.
