From Library Journal:
Best remembered for his long tenure as head of Twentieth Century-Fox, movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck has been the subject of several books. Zanuck's son Richard has also been profiled (in tandem with his father), most recently in Stephen M. Silverman's The Fox That Got Away (LJ 12/1/88). Harris, a writer for Money magazine, doesn't really seem to care much about movies; instead her interest is in the corrupting power of lucre. Obviously this is an overly familiar tale, as the head of a family puts together a fortune which is dissipated by children and grandchildren. Although the book is meticulously researched, Darryl and Richard have been better covered elsewhere (e.g., in Leonard Mosley's Zanuck , LJ 4/1/74, on Darryl Zanuck), and none of the other offspring merit much coverage. Buy if demand warrants.
