THE NAKED I

by Roy Chanslor ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Erratic, equatorial Hollywood and some rampant sex burns its way through the personal histories of Sam, a newspaper man, Eve, his wife, and Maggy who works her way up from the circus to stardom. It is Eve who is determined to get Sam away from Hollywood and all that ""important money"" so he can write the book he had always planned to write, and she is about to do so, when he meets up with Maggy who is one thing to all men and pretty overpowering. Sam who is sure that his love for Maggy is real (and he has such a cute way of expressing it- he ""wants to make babies with her"") asks for a divorce and gets it- only after Eve has tossed both their careers to the headlines... Chanslor, whose perspective seems to bog down somewheres around the midriff, uses an inarticulate idiom and a limited- modern- you might even say-functional-vocabulary.
