Rhodes, Gary Don, 1972- (Added Author). Singer, Robert, 1953- (Added Author).

Summary: One of the most important yet overlooked of Hollywood auteurs, Budd Boetticher was responsible for a number of classic films, including his famous {u2018}Ranown{u2019} series of westerns starring Randolph Scott. With influential figures like Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood acknowledging Boetticher{u2019}s influence, and with growing academic interest in his work, Gary D. Rhodes and Robert Singer present a vital collection of essays on the director{u2019}s long career, from a range of international scholars. Looking at celebrated films like 'Buchanan Rides Alone' (1958) and 'Comanche Station' (1960), as well as at lesser-known works like 'Escape in the Fog' (1945) and 'Behind Locked Doors' (1948), this book also addresses Boetticher{u2019}s influential television work on the James Garner series 'Maverick', and Boetticher{u2019}s continuing aesthetic influence on contemporary TV classics like 'Breaking Bad'.
