Worms in the winecup

the long version

"Worms in the Winecup is the extraordinarily hard-hitting autobiography of John Bright, a screenplay writer who built his major reputation with his first Hollywood script, Public Enemy, the classic gangster drama starring James Cagney. This 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."--BOOK JACKET.
