George Stevens directed such popular and significant films as Shane, Giant, A Place in the Sun, and The Diary of Anne Frank. He was the first to pair Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy on film in Woman of the Year. Through the study of Stevens's life and his production history, Moss also presents a glimpse of the workings of the classic Hollywood studio system in its glory days. Moss documents Stevens's role as a powerful director who often had to battle the heads of major studios to get his films made his way. She traces the four decades Stevens was a major Hollywood player and icon, from his earliest days at the Hal Roach Studios-where he learned to be a cameraman, writer, and director for Laurel and Hardy features-up to when his films made millions at the box office and were graced by actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Alan Ladd, and Montgomery Clift. 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 676 $a791.4302/33/092 676 $aB 700 $aMoss$b Marilyn Ann$01807586 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971234203321 996 $aGiant$94357404 997 $aUNINA
