The novel ROMEO AND JULIET IN L.A. gives the story of the making of a film
called that, which is the story of street kids enacting the Romeo-and-Juliet
theme to a tragic conclusion, and the novel as it happens tells that
story--the story of Mayo, Julie, Adam, Angel, and Reno--against a background
of the complex workings of a modern professional movie production.
Included in those "complex workings" is the revival of a high school
friendship between the author of the screenplay and one of the financial
backers of the film--and this is a story of cooperation between Jew and
Gentile begun when the participants were still in high school.
So the novel has the street kids and also the movie people, from the
Producer, Sam Willavoy, to the actors and directors--and the writer, who is
responsible for it all.
