We know what actors do. We know what writers do. But what does a movie producer do, other than arrange financing for films and accept Academy Awards? Featuring in-depth interviews with 13 top movie producers, including eight who have won Oscars for Best Picture, this book describes how they nurture a project from concept to casting to screen.

This study focuses on the genre of screwball comedy between 1934 and 1942, film-by-film, year-by-year, providing film enthusiasts or serious researchers with an informed guide to the screen offerings of the era.
