Excerpt from The Screen Writer, Vol. 3: April 1948The screen writer usually views the problem of employment in the most personal sense - as he should. Employment is the producer who likes your work, and the one who doesn't, the agent who is right on top of the ball and the one we had before - who couldn't sell Louis B. Mayer his own mother, the studio that leaps to buy one of our originals, and 'those other alleged studios that don't know a good story when they see one. That's what unemployment means to most of us a constant striving for some degree of security in a business - ar art form, if you wish - which can never be secure. For pictures, despite the dreams and words that we breathe into them, are but the shadows on a screen, a voice in the air.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
