Sinopse

This book focuses on the perception of the names, personae, performances and films of three Hollywood megastars, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum and William Holden, as presented in the references and allusions encountered in American and foreign literature. Its secondary aim is to establish the âÇÖimpact factorâÇÖ of the three actors and their major films and provide extensive data for further studies on the complex and bilateral relationships between film and literature.áThe pertinent quotations in âÇÖThree Hollywood Stalwarts in Literature: A Study in Film Perception Through References to Peck, Mitchum and HoldenâÇÖ have been extracted from nearly 220 works by about 140 authors. The majority of the works were written by acclaimed authors, amongst them are some well-known American mainstream writers such as John Updike, John Irving, Fannie Flagg and Anne Tyler, some leaders of the mystery genre include Martha Grimes, Stuart Kaminsky, Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky, and a few masters of other popular genres, such as Stephen King and Dean Koontz. The global flavor of the citations is provided by international authors (e.g., Julio Cortázar, Elizabeth Hay, Henri Charriÿre, Sebastien Japrisot) and authors born to first-generation U.S. immigrants (e.g., Oscar Hijuelos). Almost seventy films referenced in world literature are discussed in the book, and those mentioned in the biggest number of works include âÇÖSunset BoulevardâÇÖ, âÇÖThe Wild BunchâÇÖ, âÇÖTo Kill a MockingbirdâÇÖ, âÇÖRoman HolidayâÇÖ, âÇÖSpellboundâÇÖ, âÇÖThe Guns of NavaroneâÇÖ, and âÇÖDuel in the SunâÇÖ, among others.áááThis book will appeal to college professors and students interested in film studies, specifically film analysis and criticism, film perception, and film genres. It will also hold interest for the general reader interested in biographies of movie personalities and the careers of the three actors, movie and stage actors, and fans of the western, film noir, and war genres.
