Sample menu: four soups, three terrines of foie gras, countless hors d'oeuvres, 16 meat courses, partridge, chicken, song birds, pheasant, turkey, squab, 14 desserts, creams and cakes. And Paris had ample evidence that, in her later years, Pompadour turned from mistress to madam, filled the château with a succession of pretty girls to drive away His Majesty's boredom...

March an army of extras in slow motion through the lives of father & son featuring such types as deep, silent directors (genius division), mean old financiers with moist-eyed granddaughters, fading stars, grasping agents, gossip columnists, and other native life of the celluloid jungle. Dub in a score of documentary asides on 20 pre-talkie years of motion-picture history, focus on the printed page, and the nickering result is The Magic Lantern, Author Robert Carson's 504-page formula for the great Hollywood novel...
