“From Vienna to New York, across forty years of cinemain some ways Otto Preminger is not the same man at all. Physically, he looks different, and changing languages changes a person. He has worked for more years in English than he has in German, but spiritually, he is the same, remaining true to his beliefs and living up to his standards. His life has been varied, full, and active, and lived in many different places, encompassing the “old” world and the “new,” ranging from the Thirties to the Seven-ties, from Vienna’s theatres to 20th Century-Fox’s sound stages, and covering an era of achievement peopled by artists, technicians and impresarios, some of whom have faded into movie and theatrical history. It has been a lifetime of effort through which Preminger has battled great storms and emerged triumphant as his own master in a house usually owned by others.” ♡ Very Good VTG condition: The book has all its pages. The dust jacket shows visible signs of wear from use and age and unfortunately it has water damage that was minimally transferred to the book cover but the inside book is in very good condition. Please see the pictures for other flaws. ♡ © 1971
