What If Someday I Could Make a Movie A Memoir

Robert Geller’sWhat If Someday I Could Make A Movieputs to rest the tired cliché about adaptations of books—which was better, the film or the book?” As a teacher of literature and screenwriting he cites his motivation for attempting the impossible. His memoir details the struggles he faced in bringing America’s finest writers to the screen.
