The World And Its Double Av Chris Fujiwara

<p>Otto Preminger was one of Hollywood''s first truly independent producer/directors. Blazing a trail in the examination of controversial issues such as drug addiction (<i>The Man with the Golden Arm</i>) and homosexuality (<i>Advise and Consent</i>), Preminger broke the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and the blacklist, while creating some of Hollywood''s most enduring film noir classics. Chris Fujiwara''s critical biography - the first in more than thirty years - follows Preminger throughout his varied career, penetrating his carefully constructed public persona and revealing the many layers of his work.</p>
