| 1950's Joseph McCarthy A short film history |
Hollywood 1956. SAMUEL WALLS, ex-fighter and one time middleweight
contender for the championship, wouldn’t know a Communist from a
carbuncle, but he knows a dead man when he sees one, and this one
is stiffer than Rock Hudson at the YMCA on free towel night. What in hell
happened? Only an hour ago, Sam’s biggest concern was who old Rock
was slapping Oscar Mayers with: keeping Hudson in the closet and his
mug off the cover of Confidential with the caption “Hollywood’s Lace
Panties Boy”.
JEAN HOWARD is beautiful, smart, and a woman of means with a
fashionable home in Beverly Hills. She has everything worldly one could
want, but she craves a little adventure in her life. She finds it in Sam Walls,
when together they open a dead man’s beat-up old satchel and pull out an
ancient affidavit and a key, a key that just might put them in body bags at
the morgue on North Mission Road. Pandora’s Box is open, and it’s not an
invitation for sex.

| Another note of interest concerning the research and writing of Hollywood Iliad. The book took well over a year to write and edit: thirty books were read, and over 40 movies from the '40s and fifties were researched. And, of course, Confidential's line of magazines was very difficult to come by. So please do not let the low price of the book taint your possible perception of quality. We simply wanted to present an alternative choice to the outrageous prices of Publish America and others on the net. We also want you to become acquainted with LW Fugett's style. He's very entertaining, perhaps funny and educational, as well, and The price is right for a trial run. Also note that he has become a huge fan of the late movie director, John Huston of Maltese Falcon and the African Queen fame, dedicating two chapters to the exploits of this beloved director.Shall we meet in Hollywood? |
