Synopsis: Hollywood, 1939, and mogul David O. Selznick has
just shut down production on the most eagerly anticipated
movie in history, Gone With The Wind, scrapping the script and
sacking the director. Hollywood is a buzz. Determined to
produce a rewrite in five days, he engages the reluctant
services of ace script doctor Ben Hecht - possibly the only
person in America who has not read the novel - and the movie’s
new director Victor Fleming, straight from the set of The
Wizard Of Oz after squabbling with the Munchkins and coming to
blows with Judy Garland.<br>
<br>
Roles: 3 males, 1 female<br>
<br>
All roles involve frenetic physical activity and crisp diction
for rapid line delivery.<br>
<br>
David O. Selznick (ages 32-42) Fanatically driven producer,
son in law of the producer Louis B Mayer, the movies were in
his blood. The son of a movie distributor who became bankrupt
in the 1920s, Selznick rose to the top of the Hollywood tree
working at RKO, Paramount and MGM before starting his own
Selznick International Pictures. He was notorious for his
frantic, Benzedrine-fueled pace of work and the astonishing
volume of memos he produced on every aspect of the productions
(seen by some as meddling and by others as attention to
detail). Must be able to project a variety of voices while
'acting out' Gone with the Wind for Hecht.<br>
<br>
Victor Fleming (ages 45-55) Started his working life as a
motor mechanic, but got a break in the film business as a
camera assistant, moving on to direct many action movies in
the 1920s and 30s. With a robust manner and love of outdoor
sports Fleming was known as a “man’s director”, but his two
best known and most successful directing credits were The
Wizard Of Oz and Gone With The Wind. Coincidentally, in both
cases he was a substitute, brought in to replace the original
director in the early weeks of shooting. Must be able to
project a variety of voices while 'acting out' Gone with the
Wind for Hecht.<br>
<br>
Ben Hecht (ages 40-50) A successful Chicago journalist, Hecht
became one of the most celebrated and prolific screenwriters
in the early days of film in Hollywood, as well as
contributing uncredited work as a “script doctor” on many more
[including Gone With The Wind]. As well as journalism and
screenplays, he wrote short stories, novels, plays [including
The Front Page] and later ghost wrote Marilyn Monroe’s
autobiography. A lifelong activist for Jewish causes, his
active support of the Zionist movement in Palestine led to a
British boycott of his work in the late 1940s and 1950s.<br>
<br>
Miss Poppenguhl (ages 26-36) Selznick’s exceptionally
efficient secretary. Usually tireless, by the end of the five
days even she is more than a little dazed. In reality,
Selznick employed two full time secretaries to keep up with
his frantic pace of dictation. The actress will need to
portray the same physical deterioration over the 5 days as the
men and be able to demonstrate physical comedy often with no
lines as she works to meet all of Selznick's demands.</p>
