Reviews

"Darby fills most of the book with close analysis of the films themselves and it is critical to be familiar with them in order to benefit from his intelligent readings and the subtle comparisons he is able to draw across Mann's oeuvre. As a result of Darby's seriousness of purpose, his book is a worthy companion to the films, rather than a superficial introduction to Mann's style"--Berkshirereview.net.
