Summary: "A groundbreaking filmmaker dogged by controversy in both his personal life and career, Elia Kazan was one of the most important directors of postwar American cinema. In landmark motion pictures such as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the waterfront, East of Eden, and Splendor in the Grass, Kazan crafted an emotionally raw form of psychological realism. His reputation has rested on his Academy Award-winning work with actors; his provocative portrayal of sexual, moral, and generational conflict; and his unpopular decision to name former colleagues as Communists before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952. But much of Kazan's influential cinematic legacy remains unexamined. Arriving in the wake of his centenery, Kazan Revisited engages and moves beyond existing debates regarding Kazan's contributions to film, tackling the social, political, industrial, and aesthetic significance of his work from a range of critical perspectives. Featuring essays by established film critics and scholars such as Jeanine Basinger (The Star Machine), Leo Braudy (On the Waterfront), Mark Harris (Pictures at a Revolution), Kent Jones (Physical Evidence), Victor Navasky (Naming Names), Jonathon Rosenbaum (Goodbye Cinema, Hello Cinephilia), Richard Schickel (Clint: A Retrospective), and Sam Wasson (Fifth Avenue, 5AM), this book is a must for diehard cinephiles and those new to Kazan alike" -- BOOK JACKET

Summary: With director Elia Kazan’s death in 2003 and actor Marlon Brando’s in 2004, a reappraisal of this classic film is timely and necessary. In this definitive study, Leo Braudy tells the complicated story of the film’s production. He revisits the facts behind the controversy of Kazan’s infamous ‘naming of names’ during the McCarthy communist trials of the 1950s. But above all this is an analysis of the enduring appeal of On the Waterfront: the method inspired acting, the music and cinematography, the use of authentic locations and its powerfully symbolic depiction of post-war American values.

Summary: Tennessee Williams on the screen has been a touchstone of the growing maturity of American ilm production. Film versions of his plays have had a profound and lasting influence on the movies, beginning with A Streetcar Named Desire in 1961. This is the first book-length study of all the films made from his plays- The Glass Menagerie, The Rose Tattoo and others. Maurice Yacowar deals with them in purely cinematic terms. Each film is considered as a new work in a new medium, not merely as a less than faithful version of a play. [Taken from BOOK JACKET]
