- This is the first major intellectual and artistic biography of one of Hollywood’s most influential directors. Based on years of archival research and interviewing, it explores Zinnemann’s career in depth between 1944-1977, when he made a series of historical films about resistance to fascism, and locates his visual and textual interventions in the historiography of the Resistance and its post-war aftermath. Smyth’s meticulously researched readings of his work reveal Zinnemann’s significance as an historian of twentieth century conflict. Acclaimed by the AHR and Film Quarterly, this is an innovative and revisionist approach to the politics of authorship in cinema.
