L.A. Story and Roxanne Paperback - 1997

by Steve Martin


From the publisher

Steve Martin's hysterical antics and brilliant physical comedy have made him a star. But his credits also include work as a writer. He co-wrote and starred in The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, and Three Amigos, and has been a regular contributor to The New Yorker. L.A. Story and Roxanne--which won the award for Best Screenplay from the Writers Guild of America--are both romantic comedies that demonstrate his original comic vision and talent for maintaining order in the zany worlds he creates.

In Roxeanne, his modernization of Cyrano de Bergerac, with its classic themes of unrequited love and mistaken identity, Martin asks whether looks outweigh charm and intellect in the game of love.

L.A. Story is Steve Martin's West Coast answer to Woody Allen's Manhattan, a hilarious, insider's parody of Los Angeles that furnished Martin with one of his most original roles.

From the rear cover

'Behind the clownish make-up, Steve Martin gives a sweet and serious performance as a latter-day Cyrano de Bergerac in Roxanne. It's easy to see why Mr. Martin, who wrote the film...was moved to reinvent this role...Mr. Martin's screenplay is bighearted and funny.' The New York Times
