For this new edition, Gavin Lambert has rewritten the introduction, added new material from his original taped interviews with Cukor, assembled never-before-published photographs from Cukor's personal collection and updated a complete filmography that includes movies re-shot by Cukor without credit. The heart of the book remains intact. In an unusually candid series of taped interviews with Lambert in the early 1970s, one of Hollywood's finest directors shared some revealing and intimate thoughts on his craft. He discussed his most famous films, including What Price Hollywood?, Dinner at Eight, Little Women, David Copperfield, Camille, Holiday, The Women, The Philadelphia Story, Gaslight, Adam's Rib, Pat and Mike, The Marrying Kind, It Should Happen to You, A Star is Born, and My Fair Lady. / Gavin Lambert was born in England and first came to Hollywood as a personal assistant to director Nicholas Ray. He has written seven novels including the currently reprinted 'Hollywood Quartet' of The Slide Area, Inside Daisy Clover, The Goodbye People, and Running Time. His non-fiction works include Norma Shearer, Nazimova, and Mainly about Lindsay Anderson. Among his screenplays are The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone and Inside Daisy Clover and the Oscar-nominated Sons and Lovers and I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. Robert Trachtenberg, a filmmaker and photographer, is the director of the American Masters film On Cukor. His photographs have appeared in such publications as the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, and Vanity Fair." - Publisher. Size: Folio.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Fine dj. Revised Edition. [a lovely, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (B&W and color photographs) SIGNED by Gavin Lambert on the half-title page, where there is also (laid in) an original George Cukor bookplate, designed by Paul Landacre. A revised, updated and redesign…ed edition of a book originally published in 1972, this edition has incorporated "new material from [the] original taped interviews with Cukor, assembled never-before-published photographs from Cukor's personal collection, and updated a complete filmography that includes movies re-shot by Cukor without credit." The book is basically a long interview with Cukor, recorded in multiple sessions in 1970 as an American Film Institute oral history project -- and is almost a textbook case of the importance of employing an intelligent, well-informed interviewer (who also happened to be a terrific writer himself). Not only had Lambert been a longtime personal friend of Cukor's, they were also quite simpatico as gay men working in Hollywood -- although in retrospect it seems unfortunate (if unsurprising) that this topic was not discussed, at least on the record, in their interview sessions; in the original 1972 edition, in fact, it's not even alluded to. As Lambert explains in his rewritten introduction here, "At Cukor's insistence, his personal life was off-limits for publication (or taping). As friends, of course, we knew about each other's sexuality, but Cukor grew up at a time when discretion was obligatory. And although he never felt guilty about being gay, he was pragmatic; and chose to realize himself in creative work at the expense of personal fulfillment." Signed by Author. Illustrated by (dj design) AdamsMorioka (illustrator).
