I love the movie Moonstruck - an all-time classic that is off-beat, humorous, witty and with a cast of memorable characters. When I came across this book of screenplays, I knew I had to have it. It makes for delightful reading - and is even better when you have the movie on [at least for me]. Joe Versus the Volcano was a fun read too. What makes this a great collection is that in the introduction, screenwriter John Patrick Shanley gives us insights into what inspired him to write these three screenplays, i.e. Moonstruck, Joe Versus the Volcano and Five Corners. They were all inspired by his background, his personal experiences [career-wise and romantic life] and his perceptions based on his childhood and what he saw around him and his old neighborhoods.
A worthwhile read and definitely a keeper, even after all these years!
