Hail; Caesar! is the story of Eddie Mannix; tireless pursuer of the interests of fictional Capitol Pictures; circa 1951. He is the ultimate studio fixer and---since the studio is his world---the ultimate earthly one. There is no star scandal he cannot cover up; no studio misstep he cannot repair; no sin he cannot make right. His powers are tested; though; when production on the studios most expensive picture ever---biblical epic Hail; Caesar!---is halted by the kidnapping of its star. The kidnappers are a mysterious gaggle seeking not just ransom but the destruction of everything Eddie Mannix lives for; and everything he lives by. . .

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Oddly fun. I do enjoy and will recommend.By (...Y...)Such an odd story of finding art in unlikely places was what grabbed my attention and make me seek out this book. Then seeing the images made me buy it. The short forward is nice and gives the book needed context. but the book is really all about the images. and they are unique to say the least.I enjoy looking through this book and wondering about the people in the drawings.If you are into strange art or issues of mental disorder you will like this book.This also makes a good conversation piece.The quality of the printing and the binding is high for a paperback. I would recommend this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
