Its notoriety is so great that its title has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the film that brought down one of Hollywood's major studios--United Artists, the company founded in 1919 by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D. W. Griffith, and Charlie Chaplin. Steven Bach was senior vice president and head of worldwide production for United Artists at the time of the filming of \u003cem\u003eHeaven's Gate\u003c\/em\u003e, and apart from the director and producer, the only person to witness the film's evolution from beginning to end. Combining wit, extraordinary anecdotes, and historical perspective, he has produced a landmark book on Hollywood and its people, and in so doing, tells a story of human absurdity that would have made Chaplin proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Bach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557043744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557043740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Newmarket Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.97w x 1.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1999 pg. 193","brand":"Steven Bach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980088934655,"sku":"9781557043740","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b16fb51-be1c-465e-ae8b-ae8311ff1d48.jpg?v=1683248324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/final-cut-steven-bach-9781557043740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
