- Synopsis
- Shakespeare in Love screenwriter Norman offers a history of his Hollywood predecessors and contemporaries, the famously despised screenwriters. Stories include the fallout of the McCarthy-era blacklists, the introduction of the Production Code and writers' attempts to outsmart the censors, the disappointment of director Billy Wilder upon hiring master crime novelist Raymond Chandler to script Double Indemnity (later nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar), and the redefining of screenwriting by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Charlie Kaufman.
