Synopsis:
Hollywood, 1939, and producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of Gone with the Wind due to concerns about the script. Frustrated by the flurry of poor adaptations, he reaches out to Ben Hecht, referring to him as “the greatest re-writer.” After firing the film’s director and pulling Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz, Selznick finds that Hecht has never read the original novel.
Over five days, the three men are kept to a diet of bananas and peanuts. Aided by one painfully dutiful secretary, the three creative minds grapple with the novel’s social issues as they hammer out a working screenplay for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
