A book that sees Hollywood as an idea, a trick, a religion even
that swept the world, a book that knows what the bosses did, and
why and how, but which also feels the impact on the mass audiences
in the dark auditoriums. There isn't a book that explains - even at
a basic level - how the business, the money, of pictures operates.
THE WHOLE EQUATION takes the history and describes the grand
panorama so that the reader knows how he or she fitted in, along
with Bogart, the Marx Brothers and Daryl Zanuck. The business is
the neglected aspect of the story, neglected because its truths
threaten the alleged magic, the romance of the movies. Yet, the
money is the true sexual secret of Hollywood, and David Thomson
leaves the reader quite clear, that amid all the hype and
pretension, we should always 'follow the money'.
