About This Item
Reno, Nevada: University of Nevada Press, 1992. First Edition 1st Printing. Green Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 9 1/2" Tall. Black and White Photgraphs. 243 immaculate pages. Inscribed by Elizabeth Lorentz and signed by three children. "In spite of inadequate budgets, bureaucratic red tape, professional and industrial jealousy, and outright oppostion, Lorentz developed new filming techiques and set new standards in his documentaries, which are regarded as classics today. Along with Robert Flaherty, John Gierson and Joris Ivens, Lorentz is considered one of the great pioneers of the documentary film, and his films and writings continue to influence subsequent generations of filmmakers worldwide. 'FDR"s Movemaker', wirtten entirely by Pare Lorentz, combines the autobiographical history of a creative communicator with the full scripts of 'The Plow That Broke the Plains', 'The River', 'Ecce Homo', and 'The Fight for Life'. Woven into Lorentz's materials are previously unpublished communications from John Steinbeck and a narrative of the filmmaker's friendship with that famous author. In addition, 'FDR's Moviemaker' provides some revealing anecodotes of Roosevelt's feelings for motion pictures and the author's association with the four-time president."
