This is an electrifying biography, by one of America's foremost
film scholars, of the controversial director Elia Kazan
(1909-2003), that looks at the man and his art in the context of
the social, political, and cultural environments in which he lived
and worked. From the late forties through the sixties, Elia Kazan
was the most important and influential director in America, and the
only one who managed simultaneously to dominate both theater and
film. In that role, he manifestly shaped the conception and
writing, as well as the presentation, of many of the period's
iconic works, reshaping the values of the stage and bringing a new
realism and intensity of performance to the screen. His various
achievements include the original Broadway productions of "All My
Sons", "A Streetcar Named Desire", and "Death of a Salesman" and
such Hollywood films as "Brando's Streetcar", "On the Waterfront",
"East of Eden", and "Splendor in the Grass". These enormously
popular works, in turn, shaped the social, sexual, and political
ideas of a generation. The result is an intelligent and lively
biography and social history.
