Reviews
A knockout of a biography. - Newsweek ""Will stand as the definitive biography."" - Library Journal (starred review) ""Just as if a new wing had opened in a national museum or a lost symphony had been restored to the national repertory... Whitfield succeeds in giving us back a memory we thought we didn't want."" - The New Yorker ""A superlatively researched and sensitively written piece of film scholarship."" - Charles Taylor, Salon.com
