Recommended reading - Rum Punch (1992):
Rum Punch
By Elmore Leonard.
Published by Delacorte Press.
First published 1992.
Hardcover.
ISBN-10: 038530143X
ISBN-13: 978-0385301435
Description:
Pretty working-girl Jackie Burke is in a tight spot. She's just been picked up at Palm Beach
International with fifty grand and some blow stashed in her flight bag. Lucky for her, the Feds want something
Jackie's got: the inside track to Ordell
Robbie, the notoriusly slick arms dealer.
And they're ready to deal – Ordell in exchange for her freedom. But Jackie's got another ace up her sleeve. .
.Enter Max Cherry, bail bondsman. Big,
tough, basically decent Max is on the verge of divorce and tired of the same
old grind. That's where Jackie comes
in. The fifty big ones are peanuts
compared to what Ordell's got locked away in Freeport. But when a blowsy blond blowhead and a
none-too-bright ex con try to muscle in on the action, it's time to pull and
old bait and switch – where the good guys are played off against the bad guys –
and where Jackie and Max hope to walk off into the Florida sunset with a hot
half million in cold cash.
"Unputdownable! Benath it's fast moving surface, Rum
Punch is a novel about growing old, about the way that time changes us, about
the old dream of starting over agian and its cost." – The Washington
Post Book World.
"Expertly blended. . .potent Dutch." – Chicago
Sun-Times.
"Rum Punch is Leonard's best work! He
brilliantly reaffirms his right to the title of America's finest crime-fiction
writer." – People.

Casablanca: As Time Goes by:
50th Anniversary Commemorative
By Frank Miller.Published by Andrews
McMeel Pub.
Published 1992.
First Edition.
Hardcover.
ISBN-10: 1878685147

Description:
The leading lady was the
producer's second choice. The leading man avoided his co-star between love
scenes for fear of his wife's jealousy. Two of the stars didn't want to be in
the movie in the first place. And nobody knew how the picture would end until
the day they shot the final scene. Yet, out of this chaos came one of the
enduring film favorites of all time – Casablanca.
For the First time, here
is the whole story of Warner Bros. Production No. 410, from the original play
that laid its foundation, through casting, writing, shooting, and
post-production, to the series of lucky breaks that created one of the most
everlastingly popular films of the last fifty years.
At every step along the
road to Casablanca, the picture's creators had to make choices that
later meant the difference between triumph and flop. Ronald Regan was initially
announced to play one of the male leads. Producer Hal Wallis considered casting
Ella Fitzgerald as Sam the piano player. Composer Max Steiner tried to cut
"As Time Goes By." And sometimes the participants managed to make the
right choices in spite of themselves.
Lavishly
illustrated with a collection of photos, memos, blueprints and posters never
before assembled in one book 'Casablanca: As Time Goes By...' paints the
most complete picture ever of a movie that has mesmerized film-lovers and
romantics for half a century.
