"The master of the American screenplay tells his story and those of his scripts in this indispensible book for anyone interested in movies. Goldman explains his trade beautifully, and illustrates better than anyone else alive could possibly do. With the full screenplay for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Goldman's first "original," meaning not adapted from something else."
