Botticelli in Hollywood

de Susan Felleman · Publicada por primera vez en 1997

A long-overdue look at the career of Albert Lewin, a Hollywood original, who wrote and directed six exotic and elegant feature films in the 1940s and 1950s: The Moon and Sixpence, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Private Affairs of Bel Ami, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, Saadia, and The Living Idol. As one of the first screenwriter-directors, Lewin incorporated not only visual art but also literature, music, and dance into his complex scenarios. These elements contribute to the exceptional atmosphere of his small but strikingly original body of work.
