It's Always About The Drama...
I read Charles Casillo's Elizabeth And Monty: The Untold Story Of Their Intimate Friendship like a bedtime story. Curled up in bed after a nightcap, anxiously awaiting the next tidbit of juicy gossip.
One wonders. Hasn't this story been told before? Of course it has, in anecdotes and piecemeal biographies. Yet no one has bothered to connect the dots...until now. Somehow, it all makes sense and none of it makes sense at the same time. That is what I like about this story.
The author has a great gift of gab when it comes to talking about movies and how they get made. It's like you are sitting in a diner eating pie and sharing stories about film.
Some of my favorite movies are 'A Place In The Sun', 'Suddenly Last Summer', 'The Misfits', 'Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf'. The list goes on and on. This brings to mind the quote, "Oh what a tangled web we weave" by Walter Scott. No. It wasn't Shakespeare, but I digress.
Run. Don't walk to pick up your copy of 'Elizabeth and Monty: The Untold Story of Their Intimate Friendship' by Charles Casillo.
