Mamoulian

Tom Milne's classic study of the great Armenian-American Director provides a film-by-film analysis of Mamoulian's film-making career, from Applause(1929) to Silk Stockings(1957), by way of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde(1931) and Queen Christina(1933). This new edition includes an introduction by Geoff Andrew.
