Description
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.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
