Andrew Bergman Livres
20 février 1945
Andrew Bergman, titulaire d'un doctorat en histoire américaine, est reconnu pour son scénario de comédie percutant et ses romans policiers occasionnels au style hard-boiled. Son œuvre puise souvent dans la culture et l'histoire américaines pour offrir des aperçus satiriques, alliant esprit vif et profonde compréhension des dynamiques sociales. Dans sa fiction policière, Bergman embrasse la tradition du hard-boiled, créant des récits où les personnages sont aux prises avec des dilemmes moraux complexes. Il juxtapose magistralement humour et tension, livrant des histoires à la fois stimulantes et divertissantes.
The Pyramid Illustrated History of the Movies is a series of volumes that offers a comprehensive overview and brings a fresh perspective to the influential figures, forms, and styles in the development of motion pictures. Each lavishly illustrated volume has been designed to stimulate the interest of the student for whom film is an art, and to stir the memories of the fan for whom "going to the movies" will always be an exhilarating experience. -- Ruthless gangster, cocky hero, or nimble song and dance man, James Cagney was an irresistible force in movies for thirty years. From The Public Enemy to White Heat, from Yankee Doodle Dandy to One, Two, Three, his dynamic, vigorous performances made the screen leap to life. In his profusely illustrated book, Andrew Bergman covers Cagney's long career and evaluates the over sixty films that left their indelible mark on the history of motion pictures.
