PROF McBRIDE'S NEW BOOK RELEASE DATE NOVEMBER 29
Professor Joseph McBride’s 25th book, George Cukor’s People: Acting for a Master Director (Columbia University Press), will be released November 29. Through essayistic portraits of Cukor’s actors in their most memorable roles, this groundbreaking book presents a multifaceted portrait of a queer filmmaker who gravitated to adventurous, subversively rule-breaking characters in such films as Sylvia Scarlett, Camille, A Star Is Born, and My Fair Lady. Cukor biographer Patrick McGilligan calls George Cukor’s People the “definitive study,” and James Naremore writes, “This is one of the best books in McBride’s distinguished career, and a book that Cukor has long deserved.”
