Summary

Writer-director Melville Shavelson survived five wars: WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and Hollywood. In this often funny and always enjoyable memoir, he recalls the heyday of the studio system and what it was like to work with such powerful forces as Kirk Douglas, Cary Grant, Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Sophia Loren, the State of Israel, the family of President Eisenhower, and Paramount Pictures.
