There is a new book out on director Victor Fleming. The book is called Victor Fleming: American Movie Master, and it is by Michael Sragow, film critic for the Baltimore Sun and a contributor to the New Yorker. The book - which looks like a great read - received a nice review by Jeanine Bassinger in today's New York Times.
Fleming, for those not familiar with his name but undoubtably familiar with his work, was active during the silent film era. He directed Clara Bow in Mantrap, but is best known today for two later films, The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. Fleming and Bow also had an affair. Though they never worked together, Louise Brooks is referenced a few times and quoted twice in this new book.
