Andrew Bergman Libri
20 febbraio 1945
Andrew Bergman, con un dottorato in storia americana, è celebrato per la sua acuta sceneggiatura comica e per i suoi occasionali misteri hard-boiled. Il suo lavoro attinge spesso alla cultura e alla storia americana per offrire intuizioni satiriche, combinando arguzia tagliente e una profonda comprensione delle dinamiche sociali. Nella sua narrativa poliziesca, Bergman abbraccia la tradizione hard-boiled, creando trame in cui i personaggi lottano con complessi dilemmi morali. Giustappone magistralmente umorismo e tensione, offrendo storie che invitano alla riflessione e allo stesso tempo intrattengono.
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.
