Sid Davis has worked in film, publishing, and law, and is fascinated by L.A.'s dark underbelly. He often paraphrases a favorite writer, who said: [in L.A.,] something can be the truth in the morning and a lie by noon. Morning and noon are well and good, but his favorite time is midnight, because that's when people decide to follow the night to wherever it leads, and tomorrow is nothing more than a theory.
