Industry Reviews "A distinctly Brechtian vision of Hollywood....By mixing enjoyable gossip about stars' personal lives and behind-the-scenes maneuverings with a shrewd look at the film world's often unsavory industrial underpinnings, Friedrich gives us a much clearer understanding of Hollywood's reciprocal relationship with American reality." Rossellini
