{"product_id":"what-makes-sammy-run-isbn-9780679734222","title":"What Makes Sammy Run?","description":"The classic book that shaped two generations’ view of the movie business and introduced the archetypal Hollywood player Sammy Glick. He’s got a machete mouth and a genius for double-cross. As Budd Shulberg—author of the screenplay \u003ci\u003eOn the Waterfront\u003c\/i\u003e—follows Sammy’s relentless upward progress, he creates a virtuoso study in character that manages to be hilariously appalling yet deeply compassionate. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Sammy Glick remains at the top of the Hollywood sleaze heap, a hustler nonpareil…. What Makes Sammy Run? Is still the quintessential novel about “the all-American heel.’” – Moredcai Richler, \u003ci\u003eGQ\u003c\/i\u003eBudd Schulberg wrote \u003ci\u003eOn the Waterfront\u003c\/i\u003e, made into a movie starring Marlon Brando, and \u003ci\u003eThe Harder They Fall\u003c\/i\u003e, made into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart. He won an Oscar for the screenplay of \u003ci\u003eOn the Waterfront\u003c\/i\u003e several awards for his film \u003ci\u003eA Face in the Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e, and a Tony nomination for his Broadway adaptation of \u003ci\u003eThe Disenchanted\u003c\/i\u003e. He attributed his ability to adapt his own work to stage or screen to his upbringing in Hollywood, where his father ran a major motion-picture studio.
