Finding himself blacklisted after his prison sentence and unable to operate under a pseudonym, he took the step of testifying and naming names to the Committee. His career resumed to considerable commercial success, but also to prolonged and bitter criticism from the left and persistent mistrust from the right. Acknowledged as one of the key figures in the development of the film noir genre, having directed one of its first films, \u003ci\u003eMurder, My Sweet\u003c\/i\u003e, Dmytryk has otherwise frequently been sidelined in critical studies because of the controversy. This book is the first to critically evaluate each of the dozens of films he made between the 1930s and the 1970s including \u003ci\u003eThe Young Lions, Crossfire\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Caine Mutiny\u003c\/i\u003e, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFintan McDonagh\u003c\/b\u003e is a London-based writer on film and culture whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eSight \u0026amp; Sound, The Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e and the website of the British Film Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 315\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42161256497287,"sku":"9781476680927","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f10d0a67a0c010abcfb52e812af7411f.webp?v=1733279677","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/edward-dmytryk-reassessing-his-films-and-life-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
