Joseph Tandet, practicing entertainment attorney and a theatre and
film producer in New York City, chronicles the adventures and
misadventures he experienced bringing the classic story, "The
Little Prince," to the big screen. He relates how a little yeshiva
boy from Brooklyn, growing up with sparse parental encouragement,
attended college and law school, litigated a string of negligence
cases, and went on to surmount the daunting obstacles and
experience the heights of the entertainment world and Hollywood.
Who would have believed it?
Tandet convinced the French publisher, Gallimard, and the
Saint-Exupery family to sign a boilerplate contract under the
pretense that Gene Kelley had already signed on as the leading man.
Armed with nothing but nerve and chutzpah, he was able to make his
way through the valley of the moguls and convince Paramount
Pictures to produce a feature-length film based upon the popular
story.
Tandet reveals the conversations he had with directors, actors,
writers, and others he met on his path to taking the magical,
musical fable based upon Antoine de Saint-Exupery's story from an
idea to a feature film. This engaging memoir provides captivating
inside details regarding a film that is still popular, decades
after its release.
