The Films of Vincente Minnelli, first published in 1993, examines
the career of MGM's leading director of musicals, melodramas and
comedies in the 1940s and 1950s. Widely admired for his flamboyant
sense of colour and camera movement, Minnelli played a crucial role
in maintaining the studio's reputation as the 'home of the stars'.
Describing the director's contributions to some of the most
celebrated works of Hollywood's golden era, this volume also
includes a close analysis of five important films that represent
the full range of Minnelli's career: Cabin in the Sky, Meet Me in
St Louis, Father of the Bride, The Bad and the Beautiful and Lust
for Life. These lively readings provide commentary on problems of
genre, directorial style, cultural politics, and the connection
between aestheticism and mass culture during the first half of the
twentieth century.
