Description
Hollywood on the Tiber is a captivating account of the intersection of Hollywood and Rome in the 1950s and '60s. Hank Kaufman and Gene Lerner, partners in both life and work, played a pivotal role in shaping the film industry during this period. Their agency, established in Italy in 1953, facilitated cross-continental co-productions and became a hub for the careers of some of the era's most iconic stars. Kaufman and Lerner's work was marked by diplomacy, ingenuity, and nerve, as they navigated the ambitions and eccentricities of their clients, including Anita Ekberg, Ava Gardner, and Marlon Brando. From calming Brando's temper to striking a secret deal with Charlie Chaplin, their agency was at the heart of some of the most significant events in the film industry during this time. Written in the late 1970s and now published in English for the first time, this edition features a new foreword by Sandy Lieberson, who worked alongside Kaufman and Lerner in Rome.
