Comedy Mavericks-- Part 2: Those Wild And Crazy Guys

The book is organized by movie:  "Animal House," "Caddyshack," "Ghostbusters.", "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" and more..

The author, Nick de Semlyen, said:  "It was an era with relatively little studio oversight, copious amounts of narcotics and pumped-up budgets."

"Would a comedy as over the top and strange as 'The Blues Brothers' - a road-trip musical with a demolition-derby finale - get made today?  I don't think so."

"These stars were impulsive, often difficult people, and so frequently their productions were wild, strife-torn affairs," Nick de Semlyen said.

Regardless, these movies and those characters remain my favorites all these years on.

I  might have to get this book.
