USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Hilarious Tale of How Gone With the Wind Got Made: Moonlight and Magnolias
Camarillo Skyway Playhouse (Camarillo, CA)
Emmy Award-winning writer Ron Hutchinson’s clever behind-the-scenes comedy, Moonlight and Magnolias, follows producer David O. Selznick, director Victor Fleming and writer Ben Hecht as they race the clock to rework the screenplay for the soon-to-be-shot epic Gone With the Wind. In real-life 1939, under intense pressure to deliver a cinematic blockbuster of the best-selling book, Selznick fired his director and locked himself, new director Fleming and writer Hecht (who hadn’t read the book) in his office, subsisting mostly on bananas and peanuts. Moonlight and Magnolias at Camarillo Skyway Playhouse is a fast-paced, funny look at the old-school Hollywood system, revealing all of the drama that hit the fan long before Rhett and Scarlett hit the screen in one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
