{"product_id":"9781776194681","title":"Hollywood on the Veld","description":"\u003cp\u003eIsidore Schlesinger - better known as “IW” - built a studio on a farm called Killarney, where he set out to challenge a place in America that was in its infancy: Hollywood.\u003cbr\u003eThe glamour, gossip and high drama of IW's studio fit perfectly into a city experiencing an intoxicating golden age. There was as much action on the movie sets as there was on screen: from political intrigue and the clashing of massive egos to public outbursts, fiery judicial inquiries, disaster and death.\u003cbr\u003eBehind this mad enterprise was a maverick, a tycoon, a recluse, a friend of the famed and the connected. IW could have held his own in California but he chose as his base the City of Gold, and his indomitable ambition saw his “Hollywood on the Veld” soar. This is the never-been-told-before story of the rise and fall of the strangest and most unique movie empire ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Ted+Botha\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eTed Botha\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ted Botha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382758719651,"sku":"9781776194681","price":320.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776194681_e7fa9cda-b86d-4189-a359-3bf64f9bcef6.jpg?v=1776581380","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781776194681","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
