Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. First Edition. [nice clean copy, with no discernible wear to book; the jacket has just a touch of wear at the bottom edge of the rear panel and a couple of soft vertical creases in the front flap]. (B&W photographs) "A provocative selection of the filmmaker's private writings and public lectures and interviews -- most never published before -- interwoven with transcripts of the classes Ray taught in acting and directing. From these rich materials Susan Ray has assembled a clear and detailed statement on the art of filmmaking that is certain to serve as a guide for generations of practitioners of film and theater craft. In its sensitive juxtaposition of class materials with essays, letters, notes, and journal entries, [the book] reveals the mind of an artist who worked and dreamed with a commitment that spared no one, least of all himself." In a long Introduction, Susan Ray (Nick's widow), discusses their life and work together during the last decade of the filmmaker's life, and Ray biographer Bernard Eisenschitz has provided a biographical outline.
