• New essays on the life and work of veteran Hollywood filmmaker Delmer DavesFrom Destination Tokyo (1943) to The Battle of the Villa Fiorita (1965), Delmer Daves was responsible for a unique body of work, but few filmmakers have been as critically overlooked in existing scholarly literature. Often regarded as an embodiment of the self-effacing craftsmanship of classical and post-War Hollywood, films such as Broken Arrow (1950) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957) reveal a filmmaker concerned with style as much as sociocultural significance. As the first comprehensive study of Daves’s career, this collection of essays seeks to deepen our understanding of his work, and also to problematize existing conceptions of him as a competent, conventional and even naïve studio man.Key FeaturesThe first and only detailed study of this important American screenwriter, producer and directorAn international collection of original essays examining Daves’s films, including Broken Arrow, 3:10 to Yuma, Task Force and Spencer’s MountainContributorsFernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns, Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA)Matthew Carter, Manchester Metropolitan UniversityAdrian Danks, RMIT UniversityAndrew Howe, La Sierra UniversityJózef Jaskulski, University of WarsawSue Matheson, University College of the North in Manitoba Andrew Patrick Nelson, Montana State UniversityFran Pheasant-Kelly, University of WolverhamptonJoseph Pomp, Harvard UniversityJohn White, Anglia Ruskin University
