Articulates the concepts of successful screenplay structure, based on the author's study of great films from the 1930s to the present. The author's analysis includes films such as Annie Hall, Quiz Show, Tootsie, Risky Business, Seven, North by Northwest, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She covers characterization's relationship to structure, the structure of subplots, building momentum, the structure of scenes, and the subtext of meaning.
