Botticelli in Hollywood: The Films of Albert Lewin (Twayne's Filmmakers Series)

Albert Lewin (1894-1968) was the director, in the 1940s and 1950s, of six films that were literary, artful, exotic, and odd. This volume analyses the small but fascinating body of work that resulted from Lewin's attempt to blend allusions of "high art" and intellectuality with Hollywood's "lowbrow" approach.
