When Brian De Palma agreed to allow Julie Salamon unlimited access
to the film production of Tom Wolfe's best-selling book The Bonfire
of the Vanities , both director and journalist must have felt like
they were on to something big. 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.
