Summary: This book explores the intersection between adaptation studies and what James F. English has called the “economy of prestige,” which includes formal prize culture as well as less tangible expressions such as canon formation, fandom, authorship, and performance. The chapters explore how prestige can affect many facets of the adaptation process, including selection, approach, and reception. The first section of this volume deals directly with cycles of influence involving prizes such as the Pulitzer, the Man Booker, and other major awards. The second section focuses on the juncture where adaptation, the canon, and awards culture meet, while the third considers alternative modes of locating and expressing prestige through adapted and adaptive intertexts. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of adaptation, cultural sociology, film, and literature. -- [taken from publishers site]

Summary: "Adaptations gathers together 35 pieces that have been the basis for films, many from giants of American literature (Hemingway, Fitzgerald) and many that have not been in print for decades (the stories that inspired Bringing Up Baby, Meet John Doe, and All About Eve)." "Categorized by genre, and featuring movies by master directors such as Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Frank Capra, and John Ford, as well as relative newcomers such as Chris Eyre and Christopher Nolan, Adaptations offers insight into the process of turning a short story into a screenplay, one that, when successful, doesn't take drastic liberties with the text upon which it is based, but doesn't mirror its source material too closely either."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: Ina Ginsburg quizzes Joseph Mankiewicz on beautiful women, the thematic focus of various films, his year-long tenure as President of the Screen Actors Guild, and on his famous feud with Cecil B. De Mille. Ginsburg also explores Mankiewicz's career trajectory beginning as a writer, transitioning to a producer for MGM, and finally as a director or Twentieth Century Fox. Andy Warhol joins the interview half-way through as Mankiewicz begins to make a number of contentious statements, including that Joan Crawford was pathetic towards the end of her career and that if Marilyn Monroe had lived longer she would have been a fat, washed-up drunk
