More about the book
Despite the fame of some of his films (such as Love Affair and The Awful Truth) and his collaborations with Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers, Leo McCarey remains an unknown filmmaker. During his lifetime, he received recognition from his peers: admired by Capra, Ford, Lubitsch, and Renoir, McCarey won four Oscars and was one of the highest-paid men in Hollywood due to considerable commercial successes. This collective work, richly illustrated, brings together leading specialists to explore the main characteristics of McCarey's cinema: his unique rhythm, the importance of music, childhood, and especially the transition from laughter to tears that he mastered like no one else.
