Book Reviews of Adventures in the Screen Trade: A Personal View of Hollywood and Screenwriting
Book Review: "NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING."
Summary: 4 Stars
The title of this review is the most memorable quote from this book. It became Goldman's motto for why Hollywood cannot predict the results of what the outcome of any project will be. Actually, it has become my personal motto in life. When family relationships don't go the way you expect, when work associates go off the deep end unexpectedly, when the best-trained minds of our time cannot fathom or fix a political or economic disaster, I think of this motto & laugh. Thanks for it, Mr. Goldman.
