SynopsisJohn Schlesinger's extraordinary career in cinema, stage, opera, and television spanned half a century. It was, however, his films that made him famous, including such classics as Midnight Cowboy, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Marathon Man, Day of the Locust, and Billy Liar, as well as The Falcon and the Snowman, Madame Souszatska, Pacific Heights, and An Englishman Abroad. In Edge of Midnight, best-selling author and historian William J. Mann chronicles Schlesinger's life and career, from his early days at the BBC, to his emergence as one for the Four Angry Young Men of British film in the 1960s who sought to bring working-class issues to the screen, to his Academy Award for the X-rated Midnight Cowboy, to his death in 2003., Midnight Cowboy. Marathon Man. Day of the Locust. The Falcon and the Snowman. Billy Liar. Sunday Bloody Sunday. Far from the Madding Crowd. All of these great movies--and many, many more--were the creation of one man: John Schlesinger. Now, in the first biography ever of this creative giant, acclaimed author William J. Mann looks at Schlesinger's fifty-year career in film, on stage, and on television. An iconoclast, Schlesinger shattered social barriers (he was openly gay) and artistic ones (Midnight Cowboy was shunned as too gritty by Hollywood's old guard). Stories from such celebrities as Laurence Olivier, Julie Christie, Dustin Hoffman, Ian McKellen, Sean Penn, Sally Field, Glenda Jackson, Dirk Bogarde, Rupert Everett, and Madonna make this biography fun to read as well as authoritative. Great for beach reading or serious film study, Edge of Midnight offers a revealing look at a film icon's life, loves, and work.
