Travails, twists, prima donnas, and hard work.

I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.

--Humphrey Bogart

You think life in law and business is hard? What if all your partners were grandiose, spoiled, drunk, or poised to shoot a wild animal every morning before work? Okay, you say it's a lot like that now. Well, making John Huston's The African Queen was no summer picnic, either. See this interview with Nick Meyer about the film's restoration and making at Neely Swanson's No Meaner Place, about Hollywood writing, production and dreams.
