(3) 4-6 Photographs by Jaap Buitendijk. Selznick covers the adaptation of his novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret from page to screen in roughly chronological order, with plenty of trivia tidbits along the way. He also provides contextual information on Georges Méliès and early cinema, special-effects secrets, behind-the-scenes pictures, and cast and crew bios. A fan-pleasing extra: Selznick's account of filming his cameo for the final party scene.
