In a career that spanned fifty years, he won four Academy Awards and directed such classic movies as \u003ci\u003eFrom Here to Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Man for All Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Day of the Jackal\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHigh Noon\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Covering thirty-three years of conversations (1964-1997), \u003ci\u003eFred Zinnemann: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e provides a revealing glimpse into the director's vision as he discusses in his cultivated, elegant voice his varied experiences as a filmmaker. He defends himself against charges that his films are too objective or unemotional. He reminisces about his experiences with independent director Robert Flaherty and his early years in the American studios and recounts his disappointment and frustration over his abortive attempt to film \u003ci\u003eMan's Fate\u003c\/i\u003e. Filled with intelligent commentary and recollections about all of his important work, the interviews disclose an artist committed to his craft, his vision, and the human enterprise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Despite the range of genres in which he worked--the western, the musical, film noir, and the \"social problem\" film--Zinnemann was aesthetically committed to social realism. Due in part to his training under Flaherty and his upbringing in Austria, where he witnessed firsthand the rise of fascism, Zinnemann was always drawn to stories that highlighted the testing of conscience in people caught up in a historical moment. World War II provided the backdrop to much of his work. As he put it, \"I have always been concerned with the problem of the individual who struggles to preserve personal integrity and self-respect.\"\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver thirty years of interviews that provide a revealing glimpse into the director's vision as he discusses his varied experiences as a filmmaker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel Miller \u003c\/b\u003eis chair of the English department at Rutgers University, Newark.
