Gavin Lambert's ON CUKOR, first published in 1972, is considered by many critics to be a masterpiece--a beautifully written, impeccably researched biography that does justice to one of Hollywood's greats. When it went out of print for several years, film aficionados and scholars mourned. In 2000, it got the re-release it deserved, complete with updates, revisions, and previously unpublished photographs. Lambert's achievement is largely due to his intimate interviews with Cukor, in which the director behind such gems as THE PHILADELPHIA STORY, THE WOMEN, and MY FAIR LADY opened up about all aspects of his life and career. As with the best biographies, interesting details and funny anecdotes are part of a trajectory that not only tells the story of Cukor's life, but also illustrates the evolution of an industry and of culture in general.
