Fatal Subtraction: The Inside Story of Buchwald V. Paramount by Dennis McDougal, Pierce O’Donnell
Requirements: .PDF reader, 17.4 MB, Digitized
Overview: An updated edition of the best-selling book about the workings of Hollywood, recounts the 1988 breach-of-contract suit author, Art Buchwald brought against Paramount Pictures, claiming that Paramount had failed to credit the humorist (and his writing partner) for their original story of the blockbuster movie Coming to America (1988).
While Dennis McDougal, and co-author/L.A. attorney, Pierce O’Donnell focus on courtroom procedural and theatrics, the real crime is only uncovered after their initial lawsuit has concluded, when they unexpectedly blow the lid off Hollywood studios’s sleazy accounting practices, which have enabled them to deprive creative talent of millions of dollars in royalties by claiming their top-grossing films earned zero net profits.
