His Range As A Director Was Remarkable: Romantic Comedies, Musicals, Courtroom Dramas, Adaptations Of Classic Plays, Political Melodrama, War Films, And Film Noir. He Directed Everything From Sweeping Sagas To Smallscale Pictures.In Otto Preminger: The Man Who Would Be King, Foster Hirsch Reveals The Genius And Torture Behind The Renowned Director And Producer. Known As 'Otto The Terrible,' Preminger Brought To The Screen A Balanced Style And Steadfast Belief In His Actors Underacting That Was At Odds With His Hottempered Personality.

He Undermined The Production Code Of The Motion Picture Association Of America And The Catholic Legion Of Decency In Some Of His Most Important Films, Defying Their Demands For Changes That Betrayed His Artistic Vision. He Broke Many Social Barriers By Becoming The Industrys Leading Employer Of Both African American And Blacklisted Performers And, Later, By Shooting Americas Firstever Scene Set In A Gay Bar.In This Fullscale Biography Of The Controversial, Underrated, Yet Greatly Admired Movie Titan, Foster Hirsch Shows Us The Manenraging And Endearingand His Brilliant Work.
