Think about some commercially successful film masterpieces--The Manchurian Candidate. Seven Days in May. Then consider some lesser known, yet equally compelling cinematic achievements--The Fixer. The Gypsy Moths. These triumphs are the work of the most highly regarded Hollywood director to emerge from live TV drama in the 1950s-- John Frankenheimer.

World-renowned film scholars put this myth to rest in A Little Solitaire, which offers the only multidisciplinary critical account of Frankenheimer's oeuvre.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
