Summary

"In 1999 Elia Kazan received an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement; it was a controversial award, for in 1952 he had cooperated with the House Committee on Un-American Activities, for which he was ostracized by many. Kazan's life and work in the cinema are due a reassessment - one that is presented by Brian Neve in this book, drawing on neglected archive sources, including Kazan's own papers, and situating Kazan within the culture and politics of his times."--BOOK JACKET.
