...Morning? In vain she tried to persuade Bob Rafelson or Bob Fosse to direct it. (Rafelson would hire Lange for The Postman; Fosse is now preparing a film based on the tragic life of a modern starlet, Dorothy Straiten, with Mariel Hemingway in the lead.) In the interim came Shadowland, William Arnold's incorrigibly readable Farmer biography.

Of the nine cultists he has appraised, Author Landau credits Frank Buchman with being "the most successful and shrewdest revivalist of our time." However, Author Landau finds Buchman's movement theologically...
Having made up his mind, he returned last week to Manhattan. And everyone of the least importance in his Hollywood plant was left to read a book which he had given them. That book is the story of Adolph Zukor and of the shadowland he dominates...
