SYNOPSIS
Written by Ron Hutchinson
Directed by Kevin Russell
In Ron Hutchinson’s 'Moonlight and Magnolias,' Hollywood history and madcap comedy collide as producer David O. Selznick halts production on 'Gone with the Wind' and locks himself, screenwriter Ben Hecht, and director Victor Fleming in his office with a mission: rewrite the entire screenplay in five days. Fueled by peanuts and bananas, this behind-the-scenes farce offers a hilarious and sometimes poignant glimpse into the frantic world of classic film production and the pressures of perfectionism in the entertainment industry.
