Early Film Criticism Of Francois Truffaut

Before turning to filmmaking, Francois Truffaut was a film critic writing for Cahiers du Cinema during the 1950's. This book makes available, for the first time in English, articles that originally appeared in French journals. He discusses films by such acknowledged masters as Hitchcock, Huston, Dymytryk, and Lang, but also examines the work of such lesser-known directors as Robert Wise, Don Weis, and Roger Vadim.
