Millions of adult Americans will fondly remember such entertaining
movies as Carousel, The Jackpot, and There's No Business Like Show
Business. Phoebe and Henry Ephron, who wrote the screenplays for
these and other films, were a unique team in that they used their
special talents, working with dozens of great names of screen and
stage, to create everything from the comic to the somber under
circumstances both humorous and quite the opposite. Whether they
were working on a Carousel, starring Shirley Jones and Gordon
MacRae or a new What Price Glory, or Fred Astaire's Daddy Long
Legs, the Ephrons were always learning something new and exciting
about a magical assortment of people (Henry remembers the famous
director John Ford the day he was faulted by his producer for being
two days behind in shooting a film. He tore up six pages and said:
"Tell the SOB I'm six days ahead!") This is also a story of the
thirty-seven-year marriage of two people who started out with very
little, realized their dreams of having a play produced on
Broadway, and then went to Hollywood, where they wrote major
scripts for some of the biggest stars. Woven throughout the story
is the family element of raising four daughters in the make-believe
atmosphere of Southern California. As the two Ephrons worried about
the work they'd done on one major script, the make-believe turning
into a glorious reprieve when it was reported to them that Darryl
Zanuck had just told a friend, "I'll never know how the Ephrons
took that old chestnut and turned it into this great screenplay."
Here, a professional storyteller is at his best in a personal
narrative which also brings onstage a fascinating supporting cast.
