Elia Kazan was the twentieth centuryā€™s most celebrated director of both stage and screen, and this monumental, revelatory book shows us the master at work.  Kazanā€™s list of Broadway and Hollywood successesā€”A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront, to name a fewā€”is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazanā€™s method: how he uncovered the ā€œspine,ā€ or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production.  And in the final section, ā€œThe Pleasures of Directingā€ā€”written during Kazanā€™s final yearsā€”he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.
