Theatre and film director Rouben Mamoulian (18971987) is known chiefly as a technical innovator and stylist. His stage credits include the original Broadway productions of Porgy and Bess (1935), and Oklahoma (1943); his sixteen completed films include Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), Golden Boy (1939), The Mark of Zorro (1940), and Silk Stockings (1957).In the theatre, Mamoulian integrated the various contributory arts of the American musical, transforming the near varietyshow format of musicals into a dramatic unity of plot, character, music, and dance. He thus opened the stage to what would later be termed the 'golden age' of the American book musical of the 1950s and 60s. In early sound films, Mamoulian restored mobility to the camera, rediscovered montage, redefined closeups, splitscreen, and dissolves, invented the voiceover, and was first to use multitrack sound recording. He directed the first liveaction Technicolor film, Becky Sharp (1935).Spergel introduces previously undisclosed personal documents about the Mamoulian that necessitate a reexamination of Mamoulian's own statements about his life. He shows that the central theme in Mamoulian's art and life, as he describes itto overcome the world and embrace truthextended to the telling of his own history. Mamoulian believed he could alter that history through stylized presentation, idealizing the truth, and thereby raising numerous questions about historiography in general.
