Director Fred Zinnemann was one of the most honored and revered
directors of Hollywood's golden age. Peter Ustinov said, "Working
with him was a permanent lesson in integrity." Zinnemann will
always be remembered for such award-winning classics as High Noon,
From Here to Eternity and A Man for All Seasons, and for his
direction of such stars as Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, Rod
Steiger, Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster, Audrey
Hepburn, Robert Mitchum, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep and Sean Connery.
Above all, he deserves to be appreciated for raising the
intelligence of popular cinema, making individualist dramas of
conscience that could appeal to mass audiences without
condescending to them and without compromising the director's
vision. This book, the first single-author survey of Zinnemann's
career, draws on the author's personal interviews with Zinnemann
and reveals the coherence and subtlety of the director's work. The
first part of the book deals with Zinnemann's struggle to make
films of his own choosing in his own way, up to his breakthrough
with The Search. The remainder of the text discusses Zinnemann's
post-Search films according to major themes, including the ravages
of war, the "sovereignty of selfhood," character as destiny, the
outsider in society, and politics and the liberal conscience. A
list of Zinnemann's awards is provided.
