Synopsis
The full-length, definitive biography of the legendary director of Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz . Victor Fleming was the most sought-after director in Hollywood's golden age, renowned for his ability to make films across an astounding range of genreswesterns, earthy sexual dramas, family entertainment, screwball comedies, buddy pictures, romances, and adventures. Fleming is remembered for the two most iconic movies of the period, Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, but the more than forty films he directed also included classics like Red Dust, Test Pilot, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Captains Courageous. Paradoxically, his talent for knowing how to make the necessary film at the right time, rather than remaking the same movie in different guises, has resulted in Victor Fleming's relative obscurity in our time. Michael Sragow restores the director to the pantheon of our greatest filmmakers and fills a gaping hole in Hollywood history with this vibrant portrait of a man at the center of the most exciting era in American filmmaking. The actors Fleming directed wanted to be him (Fleming created enduring screen personas for Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, and Gary Cooper), and his actresses wanted to be with him (Ingrid Bergman, Clara Bow, and Norma Shearer were among his many lovers). Victor Fleming not only places the director back in the spotlight, but also gives us the story of a man whose extraordinary personal style was as thrilling, varied, and passionate as the stories he brought to the screen., The full-length, definitive biography of the legendary director of Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz .

- g***2 (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePackage arrived when promised. I was concerned about the packaging because of the heat in our area, but it was packed well and double protected because of being a record album. It was as described, it is an old vinyl album, so some age on the cover, but the records them self are in very good shape. I thought it was a great value, I priced the album new, and it was 4x cheaper. I would highly recommend this seller.
