Promotional Information

In this detailed portrait Rayner has constructed a comprehensive analysis that places Michael Mann's work alongside the important auteurs of the classical period. He makes a convincing case that Mann represents not so much a break with genre bending masters such as Hawks and Ford but a continuity. This is an important addition to the scholarship on Mann and to the work on contemporary American film and television studies. -- Dr. Michael Hammond, Senior Lecturer, Film Studies, University of Southampton This volume doesn't simply narrate the story of Mann's films, it provides us with a thoroughly grounded exploration, an informed and passionate study that is as revealing as it is engaging. This is a very impressive critical examination. -- Graeme Harper, Oakland University
