Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!: Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, the Most Beloved Bad Book and Movie of All Time
by Stephen Rebello"A blissful treasure trove of gossipy insider details that Dolls fans will swiftly devour."--Kirkus ReviewsThe unbelievable-but-true, inside story of Jacqueline Susann's pop culture icon Valley of the Dolls--the landmark novel and publishing phenomenon, the infamous smash hit film ("the best worst movie ever made"), and Dolls's thriving legacy todaySince its publication in 1966, Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls has reigned as one of the most influential and beloved pieces of commercial fiction. Selling over thirty-one million copies worldwide, it revolutionized overnight the way books got sold, thanks to the tireless and canny self-promoting Susann. It also generated endless speculation about the author's real-life models for its larger-than-life characters. Turned in 1967 into an international box-office sensation and morphing into a much-beloved cult film, its influence endures today in everything from films and TV shows to fashion and cosmetics tributes and tie-ins. Susann's compulsive readable exposé of three female friends finding success in New York City and Hollywood was a scandalous eye-opener for its candid treatment of sex, naked ambition, ageism, and pill-popping, and the big screen version was one of the most-seen and talked-about movies of the time.Dolls! Dolls! Dolls! digs deep into the creation of that hugely successful film--a journey nearly as cut-throat, sexually-charged, tragic, and revelatory as Susann's novel itself--and uncovers how the movie has become a cherished, widely imitated camp classic, thanks to its over-the-top performances, endlessly quotable absurd dialogue, outré costumes and hairdos, despite the high aspirations, money, and talent lavished on it. Screenwriter-journalist-film historian Stephen Rebello has conducted archival research and new interviews to draw back the velvet curtain on the behind-the-scenes intrigue, feuds and machinations that marked the film's production. In doing so, he unveils a rich, detailed history of fast-changing, late 1960s Hollywood, on screen and off.

Dolor y gloria
by Pedro AlmodóvarLa película más personal de Pedro Almodóvar. El libro más repleto de extras. Salvador Mallo es un veterano director de cine aquejado de múltiples dolencias, pero el peor de sus males es la incapacidad para seguir rodando. La mezcla de medicamentos y drogas hace que Salvador pase la mayor parte del día postrado. Este estado de duermevela le traslada a una época de su vida que nunca visitó como narrador: su infancia en los años sesenta, cuando emigró con sus padres a un pueblo de Valencia en busca de prosperidad. También se le vuelve a aparecer su primer amor adulto, ya en el Madrid de los ochenta, y el dolor que supuso la ruptura. Salvador se refugia en la escritura como única terapia para olvidar lo inolvidable. Ese ejercicio lo devuelve al temprano descubrimiento del cine, cuando las películas se proyectaban sobre un muro encalado, al aire libre, con olor a pis, a jazmín y a brisa de verano. De nuevo, descubrirá que el cine puede ser su única salvación frente al dolor, la ausencia y el vacío. Esta edición contiene, además del guion original de la película (que incluye escenas que no se vieron en el cine), un sustancioso apartado de comentarios sobre su proceso creativo y el rodaje, firmado por el propio Almodóvar, y un precioso epílogo de Gustavo Martín Garzo. Además, está profusamente ilustrada a todo color con fotografías y fragmentos del storyboard. Un libro perfecto para todos los amantes del cine y la cultura.
