Fast fade : David Puttnam, Columbia Pictures, and the battle for Hollywood / Andew Yule New York: Delacorte Press, c1989.
Call No: 81PUT YULAuthor: Yule, Andrew Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: Delacorte PressPubDate: c1989PhysDes: viii, 376 pages : black and white illustrations ; 25 cmSubject: COLUMBIA PICTURES ; HOLLYWOOD ; INDUSTRY, FILM. USA ; KAUFMAN, VICTOR A. ; PUTTNAM, DAVID ; CHARIOTS OF FIRE (UK, Hugh Hudson, 1981) ; KILLING FIELDS, THE (UK, Roland Joffe, 1984) Summary: "FAST FADE is the story of David Puttnam's meteoric rise to the top of the Hollywood heap, and of his equally precipitous descent. It is also a very personal look at the man himself, from young boy growing up in middle-class London suburb, feasting on a steady diet of Hollywood-made movies, to successful producer of small, thoughtful films such as LOCAL HERO, as well as epic, "important" features like THE MISSION. Along the way, Puttnam has made a number of enemies, but he also has made many loyal friends, and he has earned the respect of a great portion of the world's most visible - and, perhaps, most powerful - industry. FAST FADE is an honest, balanced look at the man and his career, and especially his turbulent tenure as head of one of Hollywood's most powerful studios."

Walker's previous volumes, HOLLYWOOD ENGLAND and NATIONAL HEROES, covered the period until 1984. This final volume tells the inside story right up to date of why a nation that produces actors of the calibre of Kenneth Branagh, Daniel Day-Lewis, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Robert Carlyle, Kate Winslet and directors such as Anthony Minghella, Sam Mendes, Stephen Frears, Neil Jordan, Peter Greenaway, Ken Loach and Guy Ritchie cannot sustain a native film industry.
Walker's revelations on the iniquities of National Lottery funding of movies - over £200m to date and hardly a profitable film among those so far produced - have been headline news. Walker relates the extraordinary events of the past two decades years through the individuals, the companies and the studios." -- from book jacket (abridged)Notes: Includes introduction by Joseph Connelly, includes preface and indexISBN: 0752856103Donation: Bruce HodsdonContents: Before the title: The Chinese butterfly -- 1.
