"Carol Reed - director of thirty-four films, among them Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, Outcast of the Islands, Mutiny on the Bounty and, of course, the great postwar classic The Third Man." "He is fully revealed here as the complex, reticent, eccentric man of enormous gifts who understood actors and writers (he was both) and was a master of the art of telling stories, and making movies." "At the center of Reed's life was the fact of his birth: He was the illegitimate son of one of Edwardian England's great character actors, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who for fifty years dominated the London stage and whose flamboyant personality and love affairs were legend. Nicholas Wapshott shows how Reed's response to his heritage - the conflict between his shame and his pride - was reflected in the elusive, enigmatic figure he presented throughout his life." "Here is Reed as a boy with his father's theatrical colleagues (among them Bernard Shaw, W. S. Gilbert, Wilde, Whistler, Ellen Terry and James Barrie) . . . Reed landing his first job: an assistant to the bestselling thriller writer of his day, playwright and producer Edgar Wallace . . . Reed with his secret love, Daphne du Maurier (she later described the romance in her novel I'll Never Be Young Again) . . . Reed's marriages - first to the beloved star Diana Wynyard, then to Penelope Dudley Ward, the daughter of a mistress of Edward VIII." "We follow Reed as a young actor, assistant director and dialogue coach - and finally, a director making his first film, It Happened in Paris, from a script adapted by John Huston; Reed developing what would become the brilliant repertory company he worked with again and again: Tyrone Guthrie, Margaret Lockwood, Alastair Sim, Michael Redgrave, Emlyn Williams, Roger Livesey and Robert Donat, among others." "We see Reed's long writing collaboration with Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov, beginning when they were young men stationed together during the war. And his ten-year collaboration with Graham Greene, which resulted in Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol - and The Third Man (producer David O. Selznick opting first for Noel Coward to play Harry Lime, the part ultimately taken by Orson Welles)." "Then with the death of Alexander Korda, and with the British film industry in shambles, we follow Reed to America to direct such films as Trapeze and The Key. And on to Bora Bora to direct the remake of Mutiny on the Bounty, which became the undoing of all involved." "An astute and richly alive portrait of the filmmaker and the man; a superb evocation of the British film world through half a century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In his Duino Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke suggests that animals enjoy direct access to a realm of being—the open—concealed from humans by the workings of consciousness and self-consciousness. In his own reading of Rilke, Martin Heidegger reclaims the open as the proper domain of human existence but suggests that human life remains haunted by vestiges of an animal-like relation to its surroundings. Walter Benjamin, in turn, was to show that such vestiges—what Eric Santner calls the creaturely—have a biopolitical aspect: they are linked to the processes that inscribe life in the realm of power and authority. Santner traces this theme of creaturely life from its poetic and philosophical beginnings in the first half of the twentieth century to the writings of the enigmatic German novelist W. G. Sebald. Sebald’s entire oeuvre, Santner argues, can be seen as an archive of creaturely life. For Sebald, the work on such an archive was inseparable from his understanding of what it means to engage ethically with another person’s history and pain, an engagement that transforms us from indifferent individuals into neighbors. An indispensable book for students of Sebald, On Creaturely Life is also a significant contribution to critical theory.

Half a century after its opening, The Third Man remains an unquestioned masterpiece of film artistry and, for many, the greatest British movie ever made. Whether it is Harry Lime's magical first appearance or the celebrated cuckoo clock speech or the climactic chase through the sewers beneath Vienna or the haunting theme music of Anton Karas, the film contains some of the most memorable moments in screen history. Drawing on both contemporary documents and accounts of the people involved, In Search of The Third Man explores the many myths that over the years have grown around this extraordinary film, and seeks to unravel the facts from the fiction. "...you'll want to read The Third Man...The story of the film's creation is as intriguing as the film itself" -Leonard Maltin, Playboy

The British cinema during the 1940s was enjoying an unlikely renaissance. During the Second World War and its aftermath, filmmakers were finding a new freedom to reflect the national mood, producing works of unparalleled ambition and boldness. Films like "Henry V", "Brief Encounter", "The Red Shoes" and "The Third Man" have become enduring classics of British and world cinema.Now in paperback and with a new Preface, "The Finest Years" chronicles these seminal years for British cinema through the characters and aspirations of some of its leading personalities. Drawing on extensive interviews and original research, it brings to life the atmosphere, ambience and connections of a unique film-making community. It offers a critical but sympathetic, fresh view of well-known individuals such as Carol Reed, David Lean and Michael Balcon. It also introduces readers to some lesser known, equally significant figures, including the flamboyant Italian impresario Filippo Del Giudice, and Robert Hamer, the maverick director of the Ealing comedy masterpiece Kind Hearts and Coronets. Charles Drazin demonstrates with affection and erudition how all of these and many more fine talents made the 1940s British cinema's renaissance years.

Written on the Wind (1956) is one of classical Hollywood's most striking films and ranks among Douglas Sirk's finest achievements. An intense melodrama about an alcoholic playboy who marries the woman his best friend secretly loves, the film is highly stylised, psychologically complex, and marked by Sirk's characteristic charting of the social realities of 1950s America. This first single study of Written on the Wind reassesses the film's artistic heritage and place within the wider framework of contemporary American culture. Incorporating original archival research, Peter William Evans examines the production, promotion and reception of Written on the Wind, exploring its themes – of time, memory, space, family, class and sex – as well as its brilliance of form. Its vivid aesthetics, powerful performances and profound treatment of human emotions, make Written on the Wind a masterpiece of Hollywood melodrama.
