The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts concludes the journalism film series ALL THE NEWS FIT TO SCREEN this week with a gem of a program. Director Brian De Palma’s 1990 film adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s classic novel THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES is one of the famous misfires in film history. On the set of the troubled production with stunning access was journalist Julie Salamon who documented the experience in her remarkable book THE DEVIL’S CANDY: THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES GOES TO HOLLYWOOD. This Thursday Ms. Salamon will join The New York Times Dave Itzkoff in a Q&A at The Library for the Performing Arts following a screening of the film to discuss her experience and book. The program is free and seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Should be a blast!
