OverviewFrom 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.

Table of ContentsReviewsThe American director Delmer Daves has never enjoyed the critical attention lavished on other Hollywood professionals such as Don Siegel. Finally, however, in this collection of insightful new essays on the life and work of the veteran Hollywood filmmaker, he is granted his critical due. This collection of pieces (covering the director's entire career, including his shamelessly enjoyable 'women's pictures' such as A Summer Place and Parrish) aims to enrich both our appreciation of the director's work and changing perceptions of him as simple studio craftsman... the perceptive and provocative case studies of such film as Broken Arrow (1950), 3:10 to Yuma (1957) and Destination Tokyo (1943) produce much fascinating analysis here. -- Barry Forshaw, crimetime.co.uk and dvdchoices.co.uk The American director Delmer Daves has never enjoyed the critical attention lavished on other Hollywood professionals such as Don Siegel.
