Reviews
"""A thorough, well-researched biography""--Los Angeles Times; ""fascinating and thoroughly researched.... This is the first full-length account of Gabin's colorful life in English and is likely to be the book of choice for film scholars and Anglophone French cinema fans for some time to come.... Harriss brings narrative skill and sweeping historical context to the Gabin saga.... Harris weaves the threads of Gabin's life into a coherent chronological story covering 72 years, from his birth in 1904 to his death in 1976. He avoids the star-struck tone of so many such biographies and lets the story tell itself. And the story is riveting.""--Facts & Arts; ""This beautifully written, fast-moving book is immaculately researched. One of the best film bios I have ever read, it will be a useful work of scholarship for many years to come.""--Charles Zigman, Los Angeles based screenwriter and teacher of film studies"
