description: William Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Ironweed' is a moving and funny exploration of good times and hard times in 1930s Albany. Now a major motion picture directed by the extraordinary Brazilian director Hector Babenco ('Kiss of the Spider Woman') 'Ironweed' stars Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Tom Waits, and Carroll Baker. 'The Making of Ironweed' documents the creation of this outstanding film. Filled with more than 100 photographs by the award-winning photographer Claudio Edinger - and excerpts from William Kennedy's original screenplay - it is a beautiful and fascinating book. With Kennedy's delightfully informative introduction and an after-word based on interviews with the director and the producer, it brings to life the transition of a classic novel into an equally classic film."
