5.0 out of 5 stars First class study
By far the best study of Otto Preminger's work published so far in english. Highly recommended for serious students of the cinema.

2.0 out of 5 stars fair
Nothing in depth, covered old ground without much new insight. Predictable , could have included more background on the movie industry in the 40's thru the 60's, also glossed over events and character traits and why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius At Work, May 15, 2008
This review is from: The World and Its Double: The Life and Work of Otto Preminger (Hardcover)
In all honesty, I haven't had a chance to read this book as of yet, but as I like Otto Premingers movies, and he was the one who gave Dorothy Dandriges a chance in Carmen Jones, I admire him for that. Considering the times and the racism of american, not giving people of African descent a chance to act in the so called classical vein, he was a pioneer in giving talent a chance in this land of hypocriscy.
