A filmmaker with backgrounds in music, drama and television, he was a popular storyteller. His films reflect an ironic, bittersweet vision of life. The stories entertain, but the subtext is often disturbing. Hill felt that all of his major characters \"create an environment, a fantasy, an illusion, and then go on to make it happen.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Individual chapters study in detail the art, craft and style of each of his films, including \u003ci\u003ePeriod of Adjustment, Toys in the Attic, The World of Henry Orient, Hawaii, The Great Waldo Pepper, Slap Shot, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThoroughly Modern Millie, Slaughterhouse Five, A Little Romance, The World According to Garp, The Little Drummer Girl\u003c\/i\u003e and Hill's last, \u003ci\u003eFunny Farm.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Horton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786446846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786446841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Andrew Horton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059690926335,"sku":"9780786446841","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02a40d51-d6d6-48b8-8095-369115adb6d8.jpg?v=1685059755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-films-of-george-roy-andrew-horton-9780786446841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
