Re: Scriptwriters in Film Screenwriters don't appear as often as actors and directors in films about Hollywood. Some of the best examples, however, are: _Sunset Boulevard_ (referred to in _The Player_); _In A Lonely Place_ (with Bogart as a screenwriter); _Boy Meets Girl_ (with James Cagney). The more recent film, _The Big Picture_ is interesting on that score as well. I have a related query: I'm interested in films that show scenes of writers pitching scripts or story ideas. Of course, _The Player_ masterfully lampoons this activity throughout and pitches appear in the movies cited above. Other examples? I'd be grateful.
