Worms in the Winecup is the extraordinarily hard-hitting
autobiography of John Bright, a screenplay writer who gained a
major reputation with his first Hollywood script, Public Enemy, the
classic gangster drama starring James Cagney. The book provides a
vivid, often savage, commentary on Hollywood and the motion picture
industry, with uncompromising portraits of Darryl F. Zanuck, Mae
West, Errol Flynn, John Barrymore, B. P. Schulberg, Walter Wanger,
John Howard Lawson, Elia Kazan, and countless others, including his
writing partners, Kubec Glasmon and Robert Tasker. Bright writes of
the Communist Party in Hollywood, the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League,
and the House Committee on Un-American activities. At times bitter,
at times tragic, this book is refreshingly frank and open, so much
so that it could never have been published while John Bright was
still alive. Bright is honest as he discusses his wartime
experiences and his "exile" in Mexico. Complete with a filmography
and an introduction by distinguished film historian Patric
McGilligan, Worms in the Winecup is both entertaining and
thought-provoking. An emotional and insightful read for students of
political history, film scholars, screenwriters, and film
enthusiasts.

"As its title page indicates, the substance of this book]was
delivered as the James A. Gray Lectures at the Divinity School of
Duke University. That was in November of 1959. But the book
actually had its genesis much earlier, for the problem which it
treats is one that had plagued me for many years prior to that
time. I suppose that it is inevitable that is should have: it is a
problem that no teacher of Old Testament studies can forever evade.
Certainly I was unable to do so. I had long found myself troubled
by the fact that so few preachers--myself included, I fear--really
seemed to know how to proceed with the Old Testament, or were
guided in their preaching from it, if they preached from it at all,
by any conscious hermeneutical principles...It early became clear
to me that the place of Old Testament studies in the theological
curriculum was not something that could be taken for granted. I was
driven to the realization that if I could not present my students
with some positive position with regard to the place of the Old
Testament in the Bible, and provide them with some guidance in
their use of it in the pulpit, they might justifiablyregard all
that I was trying to teach them, however interesting it might be
historically, as of questionable theological and practical
importance." (from the Preface, by John Bright)
