Joseph H. Lewis

Download or read book Joseph H. Lewis written by Francis M. Nevins and published by Scarecrow Filmmakers Series. This book was released on 1998 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "prose documentary" of the eminent director's life and work, Joseph H. Lewis: Overview, Interview, and Filmography is the first book to tackle his noteworthy and often too-narrowly examined career. Interspersing Lewis's own memories and anecdotes with the author's framing material yields a work that broadly explores all of Lewis's work, from his famous My Name Is Julia Ross and the film noir masterpiece Gun Crazy to his little-known start in B Westerns (among memorable titles like Blazing Six Shooters and That Gang of Mine) and his later career directing episodes of television series like Gunsmoke and Bonanza.
