About the Book

A biography of Ernst Lubitsch, taking readers behind the scenes of such classic films as "Trouble in Paradise" (1932), "The Merry Widow" (1934), "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" (1938), "Ninotchka" (1939), "The Shop Around the Corner" (1940), "To Be or Not to Be" (1942) and "Heaven Can Wait" (1943). The author examines both the films Lubitsch crafted and the life he lived - his great successes and overwhelming anxieties - to create a portrait of Hollywood's Golden Age and one of its most respected artists.

About the Author :
Scott Eyman is the books editor for the Palm Beach Post. His other books include The Speed of Sound: Hollywood and the Talkie Revolution, 1926-1930 and Print the Legend: The Life and Times of John Ford, both available in paperback from Johns Hopkins.

Review :
A resoundingly wonderful, first-ever full-dress biography of the inspired filmmaker... Eyman writes with steady brilliance throughout but takes on extra luster when describing the making of Lubitsch's greatest works. Hollywood Reporter In an entrancing, revealing biography that illuminates the unique chemistry behind 'the Lubitsch touch,' Eyman limns a single-minded director, despised by Hitler, who embodied the classic immigrant experience in Hollywood by giving a European twist to American genres. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Gratifying biography of one of the screen's greatest directors... Distinguished. Written for full orchestra, it captures every subtlety. Kirkus Reviews
