ReFocus: The Films of William Wyler by John Price
Examines the extensive and diverse oeuvre of American filmmaker William Wyler
"With twelve Oscar nominations for Best Director a record that still stands and three combined wins for Best Director and Best Picture, William Wyler is a giant of American film historyBut compared to the shelves of books discussing the films of John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, and other luminaries, his work has only rarely received its due. John M. Price's Refocus volume aims to remedy that omission and succeeds handsomely." -Leo Braudy, University of Southern California
