"James Fenwick has combed the archives, including Kubrick's own as well as others, to fill a missing gap in our knowledge of this legendary filmmaker, namely his role as a producer particularly in those early decades from the 1940s through the 1960s. By locating Kubrick in the economic, industrial and production contexts in which he worked, Fenwick provides an invaluable service to scholars, fans, and critics, adding a dimension to our understanding of his working practices hitherto unachieved. In so doing, Fenwick challenges the image of Kubrick as a controlling producer and future scholarship, including my own, will have to take his findings into account." — Nathan Abrams, author of Stanley Kubrick: New York Jewish Intellectual"Centrally concerned with financing, project development, production logistics, management styles and marketing, this book is a groundbreaking contribution to the ever-expanding literature on Stanley Kubrick, a must-read for scholars and fans.
