Produktbeschreibung
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. Although a pioneer in the genre of political thrillers who embraced the anti-modernist critique of contemporary society, many claimed that at a midpoint in his career he had lost his touch. World-renowned film scholars put this myth to rest in A Little Solitaire, which offers the only multidisciplinary critical account of Frankenheimer's oeuvre.
