Schlesinger Jr.; [L]iterate, informative, well researched, charming, and personal all at the same time. I've told everyone I know to rush out and buy it. -Leonard Maltin; For those who wonder how screenwriting teams, as well as married folks, stay happily together, The Real Nick and Nora, a 'dual biography' of screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, is an entertaining read. -Daily Variety
