David O. Selznick was a unique figure in the golden Hollywood studio era. He produced some of the greatest and most memorable American films ever made--notably, Rebecca, A Star Is Born, Anna Karenina, A Farewell to Arms, and, above all, Gone With the Wind. Selznick's absolute power and artistic control are evidenced in his impassioned, eloquent, witty, and sometimes rageful memos to directors, writers, stars and studio executives, writings that have become almost as famous as his films. Newsweek wrote, I can't imagine how a book on the American movie business could be more illuminating, more riveting or more fun to read than this collection of David Selznick's memos.

The first definitive book. This book lists all the films (with the exception of obscure titles I ADORE YOU and ALWAYS TOGETHER), and has a goodly amount of pictures. There is also a foreword by Greer Garson, who starred with Flynn in THAT FORSYTE WOMAN.The movies are divided according to milestones in Flynn's career and personal life, with biographical interludes by Tony Thomas.
