Yul Brynner by Susanna Paasonen
Explores the cinematic appeal and star persona of Yul Brynner
"One of the world's foremost sexuality scholars provides an overdue analysis of one of the world's sexiest starsThrough the lens of cosmopolitanism, Paasonen delves into the star persona and spectacular acting style of Yul Brynner. This book challenges postwar masculinity studies' over-determination of authenticity and problematic associations with whiteness." -Rebecca Sullivan, University of Calgary
