Ernst Lubitsch by Scott Eyman

When movie lovers speak of the "Lubitsch touch," they refer to a singular sense of style and taste, humor and humanity, that suffused the films of one of Hollywood's greatest directors. In this first ever full-length biography of Ernst Lubitsch, Scott Eyman takes readers behind the scenes of such classic films as Trouble in Paradise (1932), The Merry Widow (1934), Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938), Ninotchka (1939), The Shop around the Corner (1940), To Be or Not to Be (1942), and Heaven Can Wait (1943), which together constitute one of the most important and influential bodies of work in Hollywood. Eyman examines both the films Lubitsch crafted and the life he lived-his great successes and his overwhelming anxieties-to create an indelible portrait of Hollywood's Golden Age and one of its most respected artists.
A resoundingly wonderful, first-ever full-dress biography of the inspired filmmaker.. Eyman writes with steady brilliance throughout but takes on extra luster when describing the making of Lubitsch's greatest works. Hollywood Reporter In an entrancing, revealing biography that illuminates the unique chemistry behind 'the Lubitsch touch,' Eyman limns a single-minded director, despised by Hitler, who embodied the classic immigrant experience in Hollywood by giving a European twist to American genres. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Gratifying biography of one of the screen's greatest directors... Distinguished. Written for full orchestra, it captures every subtlety. Kirkus Reviews
