Cross And The Cinema
In 1936 French poet Blaise Cendrars spent two weeks in Hollywood and published his observations in the French newspaper Paris-Soir. Because he couldn't get through the gates at many studios and none of his interview requests were granted Cendrars took to inventing his own Hollywood. Some of his experiences and embellishments of them are interesting but too many of them are trite, sometimes bordering on ridiculous. The fact that he took Harold Loeb and his theories seriously in the beginning of the book was my first clue that the book wasn't what I thought it would be when I picked it up to read.
I did like Jean Guerin's drawings that are interspersed throughout the book and are more interesting than Cendrars' observations.
