Compared to these - infinitely more classy - films, Kenneth Anger’s Hollywood Babylon (originally published in Paris in 1959) is a different beast altogether: a highly readable, veritable cornucopia of dirt on a morally and spiritually corrupt Hollywood and its various participants, spanning five decades.
