"The first part of this biography of Paul Landres is organized as a sort of prose documentary, with Landres's reminiscences interspersed with Nevins's own narration. The second part contains four accounts of Landres's moviemaking experiences in the 1950s and '6Os, in the words of the man who lived them. A filmography of Paul Landres's work and sixteen pages of photos complete this study of a man who has been, in the author's own words, "an unknown treasure" - at least until now."--BOOK JACKET.
