Norman Jewison : a director's life / Ira Wells. by Wells, Ira, 1981- Sutherland House, 2021. Call #: 791.430233 J596w Subjects Jewison, Norman, 1926-   Motion picture producers and directors -- Canada -- Biography.   Motion picture producers and directors -- Biography.   Motion picture industry -- United States -- History -- 20th century. ISBN:  9781989555385 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  495 p., 8 unnumbered pages of plates : ill., portraits ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Norman Jewison directed some of the most iconic and beloved films of an era, from In the Heat of the Night and The Thomas Crown Affair to Jesus Christ Superstar and Moonstruck. But despite being what his friend William Goldman called 'a giant of the industry,' Jewison could also walk the streets of any city in the world and go unrecognized. Jewison was a man of contradictions: he cared more about telling great stories than gaining fame and fortune by showcasing movie stars, but generations of Hollywood’s marquee actors -- Judy Garland, Sidney Poitier, Faye Dunaway, Al Pacino, Jane Fonda, Burt Reynolds, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington -- trusted him at crucial moments in their careers. Yet, for all his talent and the passionate support of his actors, Jewison suffered heartbreaking rejection from the executives who refused to believe in his dreams. Norman Jewison: A Director’s Life is a story of artistic survival and reinvention, and about the fate of original cinematic ideas in an industry increasingly captive to corporate greed. Drawing upon exhaustive archival research and dozens of interviews, Ira Wells provides a soulful portrait of an idealist who had to fight for every frame of his legacy. Here are Norman’s legendary collaborators -- Hal Ashby, William Rose, Steve McQueen, and more -- brought to vivid life in original letters, telegrams, and revealing, unpublished interviews. A clear-eyed reassessment of Hollywood’s final golden age, Norman Jewison: A Director’s Life is both the intimate portrait of an artist and a rallying cry for anyone who has had to fight for their creative vision."--From publisher.
