Jules Dassin - The Life and Films (Paperback)

Jules Dassin began his film career as a contract director with MGM, but then went on to build his reputation with such classic films as Brute Force, The Naked City, Thieves Highway and Night and the City. This text is the first English-language treatment of both his life and film career. His biography is recounted, with special attention paid to his exile after being blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee and the subsequent work that he produced in Europe. Each of the director's 25 films are provided a brief chapter analysis, with cast and crew credits, synopsis, release information and reviews. By exploring the life and work of this major director, this book contributes to the scholarship on mid-century Hollywood and film history.
