Slow Grilling The Chupacabra  Les Marcott
While roaming the countryside recently in the ol’ pickup truck, fiddling with the radio knob, I came to a jarring realization…literally. You see I hit something on that lost highway.

My Own Personal Witch Doctor  Gerald H. Thomas

John Brown’s Body at San Quentin Prison
Award-winning editor and filmmaker Joe De Francesco’s astonishing film of the three-years in the making live-stage production at San Quentin prison of Stephen Vincent Benet’s dramatic poem, John Brown’s Body. Benet’s epic work is one of the finest pieces of its kind in American literature. At its core is the striking revelation of the roots of endemic American racism. De Francesco captured this stunning perspective and directed the 1st-ever dynamic staging of John Brown’s Body, with all inmate actors under often bizarre circumstances. (Charles Laughton adapted and created a highly-regarded Broadway staged-reading of the poem in 1953 with Tyrone Power, Raymond Massey, Judith Anderson et al. ) De Francesco gave it life — movement and visual composition and he included the live music that Walter Schumann originally composed for Laughton. The San Quentin performance is as contemporary today as Benet’s masterpiece was in 1928.


 

Coming Soon Medea Noir
The complete film of Arthur Meiselman’s recasting of Euripides’ Medea and ten years after the play ends. Medea Noir was commissioned by the Ancient Theatre Alive! Festival in Greece and was produced by the Talos Ensemble.

NOW AVAILABLE
The authorized version of Lester Cole's HOLLYWOOD RED

Hollywood Red: The Autobiography of Lester Cole  ©2013 Scene4 Books  www.aviarpress.com

One of the founders of the Writers Guild of America and the most unrelenting and outspoken member of the blacklisted Hollywood Ten , Lester Cole was a protégé of the legendary Cecil B. De Mille, a roommate of Cary Grant, a pal of Humphrey Bogart, a gadfly to Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, and then there were... the women in his life.

Richard-Nixon-and-HUAC-Scene4 Magazine www.scene4.comRonald-Reagan-Scene4 Magazine www.scene4.com
Cary-Grant-Scene4 Magazine www.scene4.com

Scene4 Books is proud to offer the authorized reprint of this controversial autobiography. Timely! Provocative! Startling! Now, after 32 years, a witness to the nightmare of what we did and what we may be doing again.

Few Americans remember the dark days of the House Un-American Activities Committee. From 1938 to 1975 it traveled like a carnival throughout the country, breaking up families, turning friends into enemies, destroying reputations and lives. This is the intimate, inside story of one of the Hollywood Ten, screenwriters and directors jailed for defying HUAC's nightmare of enforced orthodoxy.

"...the best 'inside' book yet about Hollywood under HUAC, a book that brings the whole period, and what came before and after, into frightening clarity, but also a book that is moving, exciting, funny and blessed with humanity."

— Carl Foreman, Director and Screenwriter whose films include High Noon, The Bridge On The River Kwai, Guns of Navarone, Young Man With A Horn and others.
