He was the first to pair Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy on film in \u003ci\u003eWoman of the Year\u003c\/i\u003e. Through the study of Stevens's life and his production history, Moss also presents a glimpse of the workings of the classic Hollywood studio system in its glory days.\u003cbr\u003e Moss documents Stevens's role as a powerful director who often had to battle the heads of major studios to get his films made his way. She traces the four decades Stevens was a major Hollywood player and icon, from his earliest days at the Hal Roach Studios-where he learned to be a cameraman, writer, and director for Laurel and Hardy features-up to when his films made millions at the box office and were graced by actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Alan Ladd, and Montgomery Clift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Ann Moss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299204340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299204341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Marilyn Ann Moss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913577365759,"sku":"9780299204341","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4d78d1fd-ed8a-48fb-bbee-99858091cad9.jpg?v=1680621156","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giant-marilyn-ann-moss-9780299204341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
