GaleActually; this might better be described as a Behind Behind-The-Scenes Hollywood history. We know about the men who ran the studios; but we dont know much about the men who advised them. This book provides a fascinating look at someone with whom I was unfamiliar; but who had his hand in an amazing number of high profile deals; and had another appendage in an amazing number of gorgeous movie stars. This was a man who screwed a lot of his female clients and they thoroughly enjoyed it! The book covers deal making; divorces; organized crime in Hollywood; and Howard Hughes (among other things); and is full of juicy and often unbelievable anecdotes involving Humphrey Bogart; Frank Sinatra; Joan Crawford; Ingrid Bergman and Bugsy Siegel; to name just a few. Business will never be done this way again; and this gives us a compelling look at the way it was. Highly recommended!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Kind of disappointed...By CbryceNot as good as some of the reviews; for me. I have read a lot of Golden Age-era books; so I knew who Bauzer was. But as well as being a bio; this book goes into far too much detail about complicated business deals with Howard Hughes; Kurt Kervorkian; and others. Large segments of the book are given to these dealings; which we boring in a biography; and also mini-bios for every new person introduced to the narrative; even though most were celebrities whose bios are well known. So; a lot of waster words; for my taste. Also a lot of stories and rumors; much repeated; about various stars and studio owners; which may or may not be true; but are found in many books. If this book was whittled down to just a bio about GB; it would be much shorter. Lots of repetition; i.e paragraphs about important and well-known he was. Also too much detail about his war efforts; even though he seemed to spend much of WWII enjoying himself.Yes; he was THE attorney for much of Hollywood; and yes; he certainly dated a lot of actresses. Those things I already knew coming into the book. The only parts new to me really were his early life and his marriage.Also I took with big grains of salt what some of his women said about him; years later; i.e Ginger Rogers. claiming how badly he wanted to marry her. He notoriously avoided marriage for the most part; during his years on the rise; much preferring being single and was never faithful to any of his women; not even Lana. If he wanted to marry Ginger; or others; no doubt he would have; since most of the actresses he dated married numerous times...what was more?If you dont know his story and manage not to glaze over all of the business deals; it is not a bad book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A brilliant lawyer - a creepy alcoholic - capable of cruelty to his wife and childBy For Truth In AdvertisingI just finished this book; and it rings with a hollow feeling for the man. Greg Bautzer was fixated on 3 things: bedding down as great many Hollywood stars as he could; constantly getting bigger clients; and had a cold-blooded psychotic obsession with winning. Its interesting to see that justice or fairness are never mentioned in this book; neither in reminisces of Bautzer or even the author. You come away from this biography with no sympathy for Bautzer (unless youre a fantasizing lawyer). Indeed; he was a brilliant attorney - along with being an alcoholic in denial - often drunk; getting into a rages fights (complete with memory blackouts the next day). For all his genius in the courtroom; amazingly - he had no understanding of the psychology of children; and could be terribly unfeeling to his own son. And along the way; he was sometimes callously cruel to his wives. I came away from this book for a distaste for the man.
