The book goes on to show this theory can be deployed to interpret Leo McCarey's notorious but undervalued film \u003ci\u003eMy Son John\u003c\/i\u003e, which critics deemed a clear-cut failure, and the auteurists declared a masterpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJames Morrison traces the development of auteur theory through its emergence in the pages of the French film journal \u003ci\u003eCahiers du cinéma\u003c\/i\u003e and the complex permutations it undergoes subsequently. This history will help students and scholars who are eager to learn more about this important area of film theory.
