{"product_id":"the-world-and-its-double-chris-fujiwara-9780865479951","title":"The World and Its Double","description":"Otto Preminger was one of Hollywood's first truly independent producer-directors. He sought to address the major social, political, and historical questions of his time in films designed to appeal to a wide public. Blazing a trail in the examination of controversial issues such as drug addiction (\u003ci\u003eThe Man with the Golden Arm\u003c\/i\u003e) and homosexuality (\u003ci\u003eAdvise \u0026amp; Consent\u003c\/i\u003e) and in the frank, sophisticated treatment of adult material (\u003ci\u003eAnatomy of a Murder\u003c\/i\u003e), Preminger broke the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and the blacklist. He also made some of Hollywood's most enduring film noir classics, including \u003ci\u003eLaura\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFallen Angel\u003c\/i\u003e. More than anyone else, Preminger represented the transition from the Hollywood of the studios to the decentralized, wheeling-and-dealing New Hollywood of today. Chris Fujiwara's \"studious, informative, often astutely argued\" (Gerald Peary, \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix\u003c\/i\u003e) biography follows Preminger throughout his varied career, penetrating his carefully constructed public persona and revealing the many layers of his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Fujiwara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 086547995X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865479951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Chris Fujiwara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075445649663,"sku":"9780865479951","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f7e04c6-d175-405b-b675-96d7c5d3fa7b.jpg?v=1685459466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-and-its-double-chris-fujiwara-9780865479951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
