Webmaster SPECTRUM DESIGNS, INC.

What took you so long to get here?

Where have you been all my life?

I’ll tell you where I’ve been.

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor.

I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.

Anything that was a challenge. I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?

Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire. Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog. But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger. Keep coming back!

Michael

More Reviews Coming

by Michael B. Druxman on 05/31/14

June 2, 2014

They're not posted (or even written) as I write this blog entry, but reviews of two new releases from The Criterion Collection will be posted on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page, sometime this week. They are Howard Hawk's classic Western, RED RIVER, with John Wayne and Montgomery Clift and ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS from director Douglas Sirk. Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman star in that one.

I continue to research my next stage play, the subject of which I will reveal after it is complete. I have two more books to finish reading before I actually begin writing.

I've also gathered together most of the photographs for my forthcoming Dinah Shore biography. The final 3 should arrive early this week, then it's off to the book designer with the manuscript. Although I don't know for sure, at the rate the book is moving through the process, I'm thinking that it should be published before the end of the year...or shortly thereafter.

Not much else happening just now. You have a creative week.

Michael
