Description

"This book deals with five European film directors - Fritz Lang, William Wyler, Billy Wilder, Otto Preminger, and Fred Zinnemann - who were forced into exile in the wake of the rise of Hitler, and who subsequently enriched the American motion picture industry with a reservoir of new talent that had been nurtured in Europe. Of the many European moviemakers who suggested themselves, the author has chosen those who have made enduring works that still appeal to filmgoers today, as attested by their availability on television and on videocassette."--BOOK JACKET. "The author conducted personal interviews with and corresponded with all five directors featured in this book, lending a "first-hand" dimension and increasing the book's merits as a work of original scholarship."--BOOK JACKET.
