Product Description

Review

"Stevens is not so well remembered today. Perhaps that's because he didn't work the self-promotion angle as well as his contemporaries. Or perhaps it's because he broke enough budgets and schedules to have gotten himself crossed off the canonical list of the greats, on which only the budget- and schedule-breaking Orson Welles still has much of a place these days. On that score alone, film journalist Marilyn Ann Moss does a fine turn for Stevens in "Giant: George Stevens, a Life on Film" by calling attention to the influential work he did throughout five decades in Hollywood. . . . Moss honors the innovative storyteller who, it seems, had trouble finding his way but who merits reconsideration. An engaging book."--"The Hollywood Reporter"


Product Description

Marilyn Ann Moss's Giant examines the life of one of the most influential directors to work in Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1960s. George Stevens directed such popular and significant films as Shane, Giant, A Place in the Sun, and The Diary of Anne Frank. He was the first to pair Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy on film in Woman of the Year. Through the study of Stevens's life and his production history, Moss also presents a glimpse of the workings of the classic Hollywood studio system in its glory days. Moss documents Stevens's role as a powerful director who often had to battle the heads of major studios to get his films made his way. She traces the four decades Stevens was a major Hollywood player and icon, from his earliest days at the Hal Roach Studios - where he learned to be a cameraman, writer, and director for Laurel and Hardy features - up to when his films made millions at the box office and were graced by actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Alan Ladd, and Montgomery Clift.
