Description
The World and its Double by Chris Fujiwara explores the life and career of Otto Preminger, one of Hollywood's first truly independent producer/directors. Preminger was a groundbreaking filmmaker, delving into controversial topics such as drug addiction in The Man with the Golden Arm and homosexuality in Advise and Consent. He was instrumental in breaking the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and the blacklist, all while creating some of Hollywood's most enduring film noir classics.
Chris Fujiwara's critical biography—the first in more than thirty years—follows Preminger throughout his varied career, exposing his carefully constructed public persona and revealing the many layers of his work.
