Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Taken from Sight and Sound, Atlantic, Partisan Review, The New York Times Book Review and film Quarterly, this is vintage Kael on such classics of the cinema as On The Waterfront, Smiles of a Summer Night, West Side Story, The Seven Samurai, Lolita and Jules et Jim. This is film writing so fresh and direct, it's as if the movies had only been released last week.

Book News Annotation:

A compilation of film reviews and commentary by film critic Pauline Kael covering her 1954 to 1965 writings.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
