Description
A compelling story of one man's journey down Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Alan Wardrope received an Order of Australia in the 2025 Australia Day Honours for his life time of service to the motion picture industry.

Summary
'Secrets of the Screen Trade' is Alan Wardrope's reflection on his thirty-five year career in the movie business. He is a member of the Australian Cinema Pioneers' Society and played a crucial role in pushing the local industry on to the international market. His memoir strips the industry of its illusory lights and make up, and presents it for what it is: political, manipulative and cut throat. Wardrope weaves detailed information on the workings of the screen biz with amusing anecdotes involving classic and contemporary stars. An irate Roman Polanski pursued him around an historic London mansion, and he was almost sued for putting Elvis on the television. Wardrope puts the industry on the table to study. A familiar cast including greats such as Cecil B. DeMille, Steve McQueen, Clarke Gable and Steven Spielberg walk through the pages giving the study lively, humorous examples.
