Several years ago I saw an interview with Carrie Fisher, who said that while writing "Postcards from the Edge" (which I've never read) she had her TV on AMC -- so she could soak up the "great dialog of those old movies." This made such an impression on me that to this day I remember her saying that, though I have no idea where or when I saw the interview.
Anyway, I'm a Golden Age Hollywood fan myself -- pretty much all I watch are movies from the '30s and '40s. And they do have fantastic dialog, especially those known as "screwball comedies."
I've looked around but can't find anyting: does anyone know of any writing books (or general interest) which focus on Classic Hollywood Era dialog?
