George Sidney directed a number of popular Hollywood films, such as
Anchors Aweigh, Show Boat, Kiss Me Kate, and Bye Bye Birdie. His
revisions of traditional Hollywood product resulted in films that
remain surprisingly modern, and his work continues to influence
popular culture. But despite the popularity of his films, Sidney
has been a largely unheralded figure in film history. This book is
the first serious, full-length study of Sidney's life and work. A
critical introduction to the volume explains how Sidney was given a
minor place in film history, despite his many significant
achievements. The book examines Sidney's canon in relation to the
work of his contemporaries and reveals how he was both a Hollywood
insider and an iconoclast who created mainstream films with
strikingly modern sensibility. The detailed filmography provides
thorough documentation for Sidney's many features, short subjects,
screen tests, documentaries, and uncredited sequences in other
directors' films. By drawing upon interviews with former coworkers,
archival material, and rare stills and photographs, Monder
reassesses Sidney's career.
