Title: Hatchet Job by unsympathetic author
Review: This book is good as a factual guide about la Davis' life. But the author sneers and blasts nearly all of Davis' movies, merely repeating what other uninformed hacks have critiqued. He misquotes all over the place. Instead of Davis saying in the movie "Beyond the Forest" the line: "If I don't get out of here, I'll die!", the author has her saying "I've got to get out of here!" His contempt for his subject makes him a very unlikely candidate to asess this great artist whose movies today hold up better than nearly any other star of the 30s and 40s. While he completely destroys Davis' films like "Beyond the Forest" and "In This Our Life," both films have generated tremendous re-evaluations for being the masterpieces they are.
