The Devil's Candy: The Bonfire of the Vanities Goes to Hollywood

â€œSo much better, so much more fun, than the movie it is about that one must be thankful to the filmmakers for producing such a spectacle, if only so that this book could be written.â€â€”Vogue
Â
When film director Brian De Palma invited author Julie Salamon to follow him on the set of The Bonfire of the Vanities, he had no idea that the fifty-million-dollar movie would become one of Hollywoodâ€™s biggest flops. The Devilâ€™s Candy is the juicy, bestselling exposÃ© that sent Hollywood honchos running for cover. Who was responsible for the last-minute casting change that cost four million dollars? Who knew that Melanie Griffith would show up halfway through the filming with a new set of breasts? Settle down in your front-row seat for a story that has more drama, hilarity, greed, folly, and ego than the movie that eventually ended up on the screen. Expertly reported and elegantly written, The Devilâ€™s Candy is irresistible fun,Â a classic insiderâ€™s look at the movie business.
