L.A. Confidential (1997) and Morning Glory (2010)

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, an acclaimed James Ellroy adaptation, and an underappreciated studio comedy. James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential was a novel the author described as 'movie adaptation proof'. But as it turned out, several people wanted to try. Morning Glory meanwhile gave Rachel McAdams her first lead comedy role - but she took some persuading to take it on. Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
