Titel: Allan Dwan and the Rise and Decline of the Hollywood Studios Zustand: New Autor: Frederic Lombardi Produktart: Taschenbuch EAN: 9780786434855 ISBN: 9780786434855 Verlag: McFarland & Co Inc Genre: Films & TV Release date: 30/04/2013 Description: It could be said that the career of Canadian-born film director Allan Dwan (1885-1981) began at the dawn of the American motion picture industry. Originally a scriptwriter, Dwan became a director purely by accident. Even so, his creativity and problem-solving skills propelled him to the top of his profession. He achieved success with numerous silent film performers, most spectacularly with the legendary stars Shirley Temple, John Wayne, Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Gloria Swanson. Though his star waned in the sound era, Dwan managed to survive through pluck and ingenuity. Considering himself better off without the fame he enjoyed during the silent era, he went on to do some of his best work for second-echelon studios (notably Republic Pictures' Sands of Iwo Jima) and such independent producers as Edward Small. Along the way, Dwan also found personal happiness in an unconventional manner. Sprache: Englisch Herstellungsland und -region: US Information fehlt?
