"The book includes the stories of film historian/critic Leonard Maltin, TCM host Robert
Osborne discussing Rock Hudson's secret 1970s film vault, RoboCop producer Jon Davison
dropping acid and screening King Kong with Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East,
and Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow recounting his decades-long
quest to restore the 1927 Napoleon. Other lesser-known but equally fascinating subjects
include one-legged former Broadway dancer Tony Turano, who lives in a Norma Desmond-like
world of decaying movie memories, and notorious film pirate Al Beardsley, one of the
men responsible for putting O.J. Simpson behind bars. Authors examine one of the least-known
episodes in modern legal history: the FBI's and Justice Department's campaign to harass,
intimidate, and arrest film dealers and collectors in the early 1970s. Many of those
persecuted were gay men. Victims included Planet of the Apes star Roddy McDowall,
who was arrested in 1974 for film collecting and forced to name names of fellow collectors,
including Rock Hudson and Mel Tormé"
