Anthony Mann: The Film Career (NM)
Author: William Darby
Uitgever: McFarland & Company, 2009

Taal: Engels
ISBN: 9780786438396 / 0786438398

Book Summary
This detailed study of the career of Anthony Mann argues Mann's prominence and influence alongside contemporaries like John Ford.

Best known for his work in the film noir and western genres and his films starring Jimmy Stewart, Mann later moved into Cold War and epic films. The book features a filmography and 49 photographs.


Horizons West. New Edition (NM)
Directing the Western from John Ford to Clint Eastwood (Film Classics S.)
Author: Kitses, Jim
Uitgever: British Film Institute, 2007
Editie: Softcover, 342 pages
Formaat: 23,5x15,4x2,4 centimeter
Weight: 617 gram
Taal: Engels
ISBN: 9781844570508 / 1844570509
Condition: Near Mint

Book summary
When first published in 1969, Horizons West was immediately recognised as the definitive critical account of the Western film and some of its key directors.

This greatly expanded new edition now provides definitive critical analysis of the six greatest film-makers of the Western genre: John Ford, Anthony Mann, Budd Boetticher, Sam Peckinpah, Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood. And it offers illuminating accounts of such classic Westerns as The Searchers, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Once Upon a Time in the West, Shane and many more.

Among the completely new material in this edition is Kitses's magisterial account of the work of the greatest of Western directors, John Ford. Kitses also assesses how the Western has been challenged by revisionist historical accounts of the West and the Western, and by movements such as feminism, postmodernism, multiculturalism, and psychoanalysis.

The product of a lifetime's labour and love, Horizons West is a landmark of scholarship and interpretation devoted to, what it for many, Hollywood's signature genre. It provides a compelling account of the powerful mythology of America's past as forged by Western films and the men who made them.
