How could it lose? But instead Salamon got a front-row seat at the Hollywood disaster of the decade. She shadowed the film from its early stages through the last of the eviscerating reviews, and met everyone from the actors to the technicians to the studio executives. They'd all signed on for a blockbuster, but there was a sense of impending doom from the start-heart-of-gold characters replaced Wolfe's satiric creations; affable Tom Hanks was cast as the patrician heel; Melanie Griffith appeared mid-shoot with new, bigger breasts. This riveting insider's portrait provides a timeless account of an industry where art, talent, ego, and money combine and clash on a monumental scale. 385736 1991 The Devil's Candy: The Anatomy of a Hollywood Fiasco total:104|5:22|4:44|3:31|2:6|1:1| 104 392 172 18 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 20:27:43 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 20:32:33 -0700 2009

"The Devil's Candy" is about the making of "Bonfire of the Vanities". But the film itself is incidental-it's really about the process of film making in general. What makes this story so interes...more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Mar 19 13:31:22 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 14:19:07 -0700 2008
