  Bonfire of the Vanities was to be the film of the year. But behind the cameras a story unfolded that often imitated the story being filmed. With vanity never in short supply, ambitions and tempers and expenses escalated, the director rebelled, the crew balked and Tom Wolfe would have nothing to do with it. Even so, no one dreamed that the result would be a 50 million dollar flop. This book reveals how a big-budget Hollywood movie really gets made.
