Call No: 79TWI FARAuthor: Farber, Stephen ; Green, Marc, 1943 Edition: 1st edPlace: New YorkPublisher: Arbor House/MorrowPubDate: 1988PhysDes: 394 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: HOLLYWOOD ; SAFETY ; LAWSUITS ; STUNTS ; LANDIS, JOHN ; SPIELBERG, STEVEN ; TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE (US, John Landis & Steven Spielberg & George Miller & Joe Dante, 1983) Summary: "Death in the movies isn't supposed to be real. But on July 23, 1982, a spectacular explosion on the set of TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE knocked a helicopter out of the sky and into the path of two small children and veteran actor Vic Morrow, crushing one child and decapitating Morrow and the other youngster. How could this tragedy occur? Was anyone to blame? OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT reveals the facts behind the accident, when skilled movie-makers exceeded the bounds of safety; the anxiety, when Hollywood closed ranks to protect its own; and the raucous and very public trial, when countercharges of "outrageous conduct" flew between the publicity-conscious district attorney and the furious film director, John Landis."
