Reviews

This book is a carefully researched and perceptive study of the work of one of Hollywood's most controversial directors, whose career has long been crying out for sympathetic yet incisive re-evaluation. High on the list of any critic's priorities should be a passionate engagement with the subject and, if necessary, a restoration of justice and the author has risen impressively to the challenge. --Neil Sinyard, emeritus professor of film studies, University of Hull, UK
