Darling: An Original Screenplay, Directed by Richard Lester

by Frederic Raphael

First published in 1965, this is a tale of the face that has launched a thousand billboards. Diana Scott is "The Happiness Girl" in ads plastered all over the country, and she's hunting happiness in more ways than she's care to confess.
She's the darling of the rich and of Prince Cesare della Romita...of TV writer and interviewer Robert Gold...of suave business success Miles Brand.

She's the life of the Dolce Vita, Paris version - a reckless seeker of self, caught up in a frenzied sexcursion of jet-set Europe. This is her story - a novel based on the bold and powerful Joseph E. Levine motion picture.

Paperback

First published January 1, 1965

Μικρή τσαπερδόνα vs Μιστερ "Μπήκαν ψύλλοι στα αυτιά μου". Δεν μπορώ να πω ότι τρελάθηκα. Περίμενα ξεγύμνωμα του διεφθαρμένου κόσμου του μόντελινγκ και πήρα μια δευτερότριτη ερωτική ιστορία. Απλά καλό.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον.Το βιβλίο σε ταξιδεύει στη Βρετανική πρωτεύουσα του 70 και αποπνέει την αύρα της εποχής. Θυμίζει λίγο Truman Capote. Οι δύο κύριοι χαρακτήρες αρκετά ολοκληρωμένοι.
