Featured Chai Noon
Jews and the Cinematic Wild West “Prodigiously researched and written with verve, Chai Noon casts a long-overdue Jewish lens on the Western. Contrary to the conventional notion that Jews and Westerns are like oil and water, the book shows how Jewish characters, themes, and filmmakers played a prominent role in the origins and development of this most American of genres.” Hollywood's Unofficial Film Corps
American Jewish Moviemakers and the War Effort “Breathes new life into a densely covered period of history and shows us that Hollywood was even more deeply involved with the US government than we previously understood.” Peerless
Rouben Mamoulian, Hollywood, and Broadway “Jensen’s fresh, sparkling prose allows Mamoulian to emerge as the type of suave, charming, larger-than-life character so often portrayed in his films. Jensen’s thoughtful use of Mamoulian’s own words in journals and interviews allows this work to serve as the intimate, lively memoir the great director never completed.” Recent and Backlist Click the icon below the book image to add the title to your shopping cart.
