Moonlight and Magnolias

Movie producer David O. Selznick has just shut down filming on the most anticipated movie of its time, Gone with the Wind. The screenplay just isn’t right. So what is a movie mogul to do? He takes Victor Fleming off his directing duties for The Wizard of Oz, coerces talented screenwriter Ben Hecht to help, and traps them in his office for a week as they rewrite the screenplay…and history…on a diet of peanuts and bananas. Only one problem: neither Fleming nor Hecht has ever read the book. Ron Hutchinson’s Moonlight and Magnolias is a funny, fact-based take on the making of a classic.
