Memo from Darryl F. Zanuck: The Golden Years at Twentieth Century-Fox

Written by Rudy Behlmer and Philip Dunne

Narrated by Richard D. Zanuck

One of Hollywood's biggest players for almost 50 years, Darryl F. Zanuck presided over Twentieth Century-Fox during the studio' s most glorious era— with stars like Marilyn Monroe and Henry Fonda, directors like John Ford and Elia Kazan, and classics like How Green Was My Valley, Gentleman' s Agreement, and All about Eve. Drawing on Zanuck's own correspondence, author Rudy Behlmer presents a from-the-top look at the elements that went into making a feature film during the heyday of the Hollywood studio system. Full of secrets and surprises, this treasure trove of legend and lore— read by Zanuck' s son, Oscar-winning producer Richard D. Zanuck— is as entertaining as it is informative.
