Product Description
Product Description
Steve McQueen: The Actor and his Films, is the definitive account of every film that the iconic actor made. This lavishly illustrated book devotes nearly 500 pages to Steve McQueen's career and tracks his journey from juvenile delinquent, to Marine, to an aspiring actor breaking into Hollywood, until he became a global superstar and the highest-paid actor of his era. Included are numerous behind the scenes tales of events that occurred leading up to and during filming, and fascinating insights into McQueen's acting techniques and motivations. Each film is allocated one chapter. The chapters begin with a precis of the particular movie. Then events surrounding its making are described, uncovering new facts and insights. This is followed by an analysis of its success, and finally a significant scene is discussed in detail. Steve McQueen: The Actor and his Films is extensively illustrated with over 1,000 color and black and white images, including posters from around the world, lobby cards, memorabilia, many never-before seen candid stills and rare vintage advertising materials.

Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best presented books I have ever seen. Its insightful and shines new light on him as an actor, his technique and his status as an icon. Clearly considerable time and effort has gone into painstaking research. On top of the high quality of writing you also get superb image after superb image, proving just how great the cinematography was on McQueen's main films. The unseen images from Bullitt, Thomas Crown Affair and others are worthy of being hung in any art gallery. A must for not only fans, but anyone with an interest in film and photography.

Format:Hardcover
This book is really wonderful. It is a very beautiful book with chapters on all Steve McQueen's films. Each chapter starts with some general information about the film, and then you can read all kinds of background stories and anecdotes. There are also loads of beautiful photos in this book.
Almost fivehundred pages full of Steve McQueen, I would say this book is a book every Steve McQueen fan will want.
I have it on my coffeetable (it is beautiful enough for that) so I can pick it up and read in it when I want. I love this book and I am very happy I bought it.
