(see photos) In 1932, three months after his marriage to film star Jean Harlow, Hollywood producer Paul Bern was found shot to death. The verdict was suicide, and the motive was alleged to be Bern's despair over his sexual immaturity and impotence. Marx, Bern's contemporary at MGM, refutes this negative characterization of his friend and argues that Bern was murdered and that MGM executives engaged in a cover-up. The authors implicate a former lover of Bern who committed suicide herself shortly after his death. Despite the passage of time, they present a persuasive case with all the loose ends neatly--perhaps too neatly--resolved. In any event, this book is recommended for that audience fascinated by Hollywood scandals.
