Bemerkungen

Frisches und sauberes Exemplar in gutem Zustand. Hardcover mit original Schutzumschlag. Exemplar aus dem Nachlaß des libertären Dokumentaristen Hans-Dieter Heilmann mit nur sehr wenigen seiner charakteristischen Bleistiftanstreichungen. "Alexander Korda lived a life other men only dream about. The rich, the famous, the beautiful, crowded its pages as if playing roles in one of his own lavish films. Churchill (who secretly wrote film scrips for him), H. G. Wells, Lord Beaverbrook, Brendan Bracken, were among his lifelong friends; Olivier, Laughton, Ralph Richardson, Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Merle Oberon, among those he brought to stardom. As he rose to power, wealth and fame to become Sir Alexander Korda, one of the most legendary and flamboyant of all film tycoons, making and losing fortunes, engaging in vast and costly enterprises, charming all around him and living in boundless luxury, his two brothers often unwillingly and quarellsomely accepting his dominant role, rose wth him: Zoltan, mercurial and eccentric, a director of genius whose 'The Four Feathers' and 'Cry, the Beloved Country' are film classics and Vincent, whom Alex Shanghai'd from a career as a painter to be artistic director of his vast new motion picture empire."
