A filmmaker with a diverse background in music, drama and television, Hill proved to be a popular storyteller in a variety of genres. His films are tied to important American themes and reflect an ironic, bittersweet vision of life. The book begins with a discussion of the way Hill's films often make their most important statements on the subtextual level. The stories entertain, but the subtext is often disturbing, contradictory, unresolved. Hill felt that all of his major characters create an environment, a fantasy, an illusion, and then go on to make it happen. It continues by tracing the thematic characteristics that are consistent with Hill's depiction of protagonists who create their own environments and then attempt to inhabit them. Then, individual chapters study in detail the art, craft and style of each of his films, including Period of Adjustment, Toys in the Attic, The World of Henry Orient, Hawaii, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Slaughterhouse Five, The Great Waldo Pepper, Slap Shot, A Little Romance, The World According to Garp, The Little Drummer Girl, Funny Farm, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting" ; Andrew Horton is the Jeanne H. Smith Professor of Film and Video Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He is an award-winning screenwriter who has written for American, Greek, New Zealand, Russian, Hungarian, and Norwegian productions. ; "As I get older, I get more didactic. I say what I really think. I don't hide ideas like Easter eggs for people to find. Now, if I have an idea, when something becomes clear to me, I don't embed it in a novel; I simply write it out in an essay as clearly as I can?"--George Roy Hill ; photos of Robin Williams, Paul Newman, Jane Fonda, Jim Hutton, Tony Franciosa, Dean Martin, Yvette Mimieux, Geraldine Page, Peter Sellers, Tippy Walker Marie Spaeth, Max von Sydow, Julie Andrews, Robert Redford, Michael Sacks, Michael Ontkean, Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane, Thelonius Bernard, John Lithgow, Glenn Close, Mary Beth Hurt ; FINE/VG.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First edition. Octavo. Blue cloth gilt. Fine in very near fine dust jacket with a little rubbing and soiling on the front panel. According to the dust jacket copy: "With the skill and the profundity of the Russian novelists, the author portrays a true story of the radical Jews on the East Side. This is the first book dealing with the subject, where the author reveals their lives and loves, as he has seen them, after living among them for nearly two score years. It can not be denied that the majority of the radicals are honest in their convictions; that they sincerely believe in the doctrines they preach. It would be reasonable to expect that in order to justify their claims, when put to the test of practical life, they should live up to their principles. That in their everyday life, they show an example of that future ideal life they predict, when the great Revolution shall have been accomplished. The author presents an unbiased and unprejudiced spectacle; he portrays a true and startling account of the life of the Jewish people, as we have never known it. Let us take an intimate view into the lives of the radicals, and observe them as if their tomorrow were today." Very uncommon novel of young radical Jews on the Lower East Side of New York City, and a surprisingly overlooked novel on the subject. *OCLC* locates 11 copies.
