Off the Cliff: How the Making of Thelma & Louise Drove Hollywood to the Edge by Becky Aikman

3.0

This wasn't as interesting as the Casablanca book, but it was OK. As I've mentioned before, the making of multimillion dollar film is organizationally, similar to making a new model car. Lots of money. Lots of ego. Lots of people. Lots of backstabbing. Lots of sex (well, someone has to try out the back seat). Etc. The film production world works hard to make their gritty production process sexy and "important." The film did break some ground in story structure, while Ridley Scott's visual sense and actor direction did push enhance the film's charisma. While finishing the last couple of chapters, I noted that it was playing on tv, but I only watched for a while, having seen it several times already.
