Beschreibung

A riotous and revealing story of Hollywood's most spectacular flops and how they ended careers, bankrupted studios and changed film history. "Failure fascinates, for all the reasons that success is a drag. ". From grand follies to misunderstood masterpieces, disastrous sequels to catastrophic literary adaptations, Box Office Poison. tells a hugely engaging (or "entertaining") alternative history of Hollywood, through a century of its most notable flops. What can these films tell us about the Hollywood system, the public's appetite-or lack of it-and the circumstances that saw such flops actually made. Away from the canon, this is the definitive take on these ill-fated but essential celluloid failures. From Daily Telegraph. film critic Tim Robey, this is a brilliantly fun, piercingly witty exploration of the greatest (or most disastrous) film flops throughout history.
