"""James Fenwick has combed the archives, including Kubrick’s own as well as others, to fill a missing gap in our knowledge of this legendary filmmaker, namely his role as a producer particularly in those early decades from the 1940s through the 1960s. By locating Kubrick in the economic, industrial and production contexts in which he worked, Fenwick provides an invaluable service to scholars, fans, and critics, adding a dimension to our understanding of his working practices hitherto unachieved. In so doing, Fenwick challenges the image of Kubrick as a controlling producer and future scholarship, including my own, will have to take his findings into account."" — Nathan Abrams, author of Stanley Kubrick: New York Jewish Intellectual ""Centrally concerned with financing, project development, production logistics, management styles and marketing, this book is a groundbreaking contribution to the ever-expanding literature on Stanley Kubrick, a must-read for scholars and fans. Based on exhaustive archival research, this study skillfully relates Kubrick’s work on his films and on numerous unrealised projects to key developments in the American film business from the 1950s onwards, and tells a compelling story about the meteoric rise and, yes, the fall of one of the twentieth century’s most important filmmakers.""  — Peter Krämer, author of the BFI film classics on 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr. Strangelove ""Bolstered with a tremendous amount of research in the Stanley Kubrick Archives at the University of the Arts London, Fenwick highlights how dedicated Kubrick was to maintaining control of his work from the very beginning of his career.""— Psychobabble ""The World Assembly of Youth and Archival Serendipity"" by James Fenwick http://iamhist.net/2021/01/world-assembly-youth-archival-serendipity/— IAMHIST Blog ""We know about Kubrick the director, but this book digs into his production credits.
