Anthony Thomas McKenna's Showman of the Screen: Joseph E. Levine and His Revolutions in Film Promotion is a fast, thoroughly enjoyable and informative read that paints an honest portrayal of Levine's good and bad characteristics from his youth right up until a month before his death. - Robert Crane, author of Crane: Sex, Celebrity, and My Father's Unsolved Murder. This study of Levine, because it is so thorough and detailed, is likely to remain the standard account of his life. - Andrew Spicer, author of Sydney Box, Film Noir, and Typical Men: The Representation of Masculinity in Popular British Cinema A.T. McKenna's biography is surely the last word on this fascinating man, the likes of whom the film industry is unlikely to see again. McKenna's scholarly approach and impeccably detailed research have left no stone unturned in presenting as full an account as possible of Levine, both the legend and the man himself. - Cinema Retro

This study of Levine, because it is so thorough and detailed, is likely to remain the standard account of his life. -- Andrew Spicer, author of Sydney Box, Film Noir, and Typical Men: The Representation of Masculinity in Popular British Cinema
