En 1986, tras acabar de escribir «Príncipes de Maine, reyes de Nueva Inglaterra», John Irving comenzaba la redacción del guión para adaptarla al cine. Trece años de trabajo, innumerables modificaciones y cuatro directores sucesivos separan aquellos primeros tanteos de la película protagonizada por Michael Caine que terminó por dirigir Lasse Hällstrom en 1999. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"John Irving's memoir begins with his account of the distinguished career and medical writings of the novelist's grandfather Dr. Frederick C. Irving, a renowned obstetrician and gynecologist, and includes Mr. Irving's incisive history of abortion politics in the United States. But My Movie Business focuses primarily on the thirteen years John Irving spent adapting his novel The Cider House Rules for the screen - for four different directors." "Mr. Irving also writes about the failed effort to make his first novel, Setting Free the Bears, into a movie; about two of the films that were made from his novels (but not from his screenplays), The World According to Garp and The Hotel New Hampshire; about his slow progress at shepherding his screenplay of A Son of the Circus into production." "Not least, and in addition to its qualities as a memoir - anecdotal, comic, affectionate, and candid - My Movie Business is an insightful essay on the essential differences between writing a novel and writing a screenplay."--BOOK JACKET.
