Gianetti's Director Bios Concise, Excellent

Considering the quality of Louis Gianetti's writing, it is both shocking and disheartening that "Masters of the American Cinema" is currently out of print. Delivering enlightened, career-spanning essays on superlative filmmakers such as Welles, Capra, Keaton, Lubitsch, and Ford, Gianetti also examines the cinema of still-working directors like Altman and Kubrick. Indispensable for readers interested in the American motion picture.
