Publisher's Synopsis
There was something about Robert Aldrich's artistic temperament that enabled him to transcend the apparent vulgarity of so many of his motion picutres. Besides the great films such as ÊKiss Me DeadlyÊ which is certainly one of the finest examples of film noir are several little-seen or underrated later works such as the revisionist Western ÊUlzana's RaidÊ the gangster love story ÊThe Grissom GangÊ or the grim cop picture ÊHustleÊ. Aldrich's career has long deserved the detailed evaluation which this book provides. ä Andrew Sarris.
