Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. CE6-A first edition (complete numberline) hardcover book SIGNED by author on the title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light tanning and shelf wear. Movie madness meets midlife crisis in Billy Taylor's hilarious novel, as a recovering dolly grip battles egos, absurdity, and a soon-to-be-ex-wife, all to keep a really lousy movie from falling to pieces. 8.75"x6", 310 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. It's been nine months since Bobby Conlon's wife dumped him for a hot young film director and he's doing great. Okay, so he occasionally breaks into Natalie's apartment and sobs along to her old Carole King records, but that's only when he's out of meds. He's better now. One hundred percent. And to prove it, he's throwing out that year-old Christmas tree decorated with five hundred empty Vicodin bottles and flying to Texas to work on a movie starring Ralph the Swimming Pig. But once in Texas, Bobby realizes he's signed on to the most dysfunctional movie ever. The director can't direct, the pig catches pneumonia, and just when things can't get any worse, Natalie and her boyfriend are hired to take over the movie. Suddenly, Bobby's personal and professional lives collide, and no matter which way he turns, fresh disasters await. Still, in spite of everything, Bobby clings to the hope that a happy ending might still be possible. This is the movie business, right? Based on the Movie is a laugh-out-loud look at what actually happens on a film location, told from the perspective of the hardworking-and long-suffering-men and women behind the scenes. As real life meets reel life, prepare to be captivated by one of the most entertaining reads of the season.
