Description: This book tells the story of the heyday of MGM from one who was there: Maurice Rapf tells what it was like to grow up as the son of a great Hollywood producer - Harry Rapf, one of the founders of MGM - and to be on the lots, seeing the way the movie business really worked. Rapf went on to write screenplays and be blacklisted during the 1950s - providing a fascinating account of another key era of American film.

Part autobiography, part history, this book is a priceless glimpse into the development of the twentieth century's most important art form.
