How has he gained his reputation as a multimedia survivor? Alex Symons takes a unique, artist-focused approach in order to systematically identify the range of Brooks's adaptation strategies across the Hollywood film, Broadway theatre and American television industries. By combining a cultural industries approach together with that of adaptation studies, this book also identifies an important new industrial practice employed by Brooks - defined here as 'prolonged adaptation'. More significantly, Symons also employs this method to explain the so far neglected way that Brooks's adaptations have contributed towards changing production trends, changes in critical attitudes, and towards the ongoing integration of the cultural industries today. 606 $aAdaptability (Psychology) 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zUnited States 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States 606 $aScreenwriters$zUnited States 615 0$aAdaptability (Psychology) 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aScreenwriters 676 $a791.092 700 $aSymons$b Alex$01704684 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813927303321 996 $aMel Brooks in the cultural industries$94090853 997 $aUNINA
