About this product

Product Information

Jimmy Stewart was one of Hollywood's nice guys, who enjoyed one of the longest screen careers in history, from Murder Man in 1935 to a Lassie film in 1981. His films were also remarkably wide-ranging, from heartwarming Frank Capra classics like It's a Wonderful Life and Mr Smith Goes to Washington through George Cukor's The Philadelphia Story to creepy Hitchcock masterworks like Vertigo . His role in the comic film Harvey , about a man pursued by a giant invisible rabbit, he reprised on the London stage towards the end of his life. Marc Eliot's new biography is a superbly readable and comprehensively detailed account of Stewart's life and career, including notably a lengthy and fascinating account of his war service flying bombers for the US Air Force. He has obtained rare interviews from one of Stewart's daughters, from his Vertigo co-star Kim Novak, and from Frank Capra's son. Eliot's previous biography for Aurum , of Cary Grant, was serialised at length in the Daily Mail and reprinted in hardback. Of it the Daily Telegraph said that Eliot 'is as good on the movies as he is on the man'.
