Bøker av Brian Neve

Cy Endfield (1914-1995) was a filmmaker who was also fascinated by the worlds of close-up magic, science, and invention. After directing several distinctive low-budget films in Hollywood, he was blacklisted in 1951 and fled to Britain. The fruit of years of archival research and personal interviews by Brian Neve, this title documents Endfield's many identities: among them second-generation immigrant, Jew, Communist, and exile.

This study looks at the social and political nature of American film by concentrating on a generation of writers who directed films in Hollywood in the 1940s. The author discusses how they negotiated their roles and to what extent their experience of the 1930s was reflected in their later films.
