Title: Great book on a great director
Review: I actually attempted to contact Mr. Eisenschitz to thank him for delivering this book going as far as contacting his publisher. I go back to this book over and over as it contains a wealth of information about the great man Nicholas Ray. If you haven't read this, get it now. Also, get Ray's book I WAS INTERRUPTED; a heartbreaking book composed of various entries toward the end of Ray's life. What a journey through a life of creativity and moviemaking. Eisenschitz manages to compose a meaningful portrait of Ray's life with amazing detail covering all periods and various lives ray led. I found the rambling years and failed projects Ray attempted the most fascinating ending with his 'folding chair' positions at various colleges, and his meeting in Chicago '68 with Susan. And his eventual surrender with alcoholism. A genius work. And: Mr. Eisenschitz, if you by-chance read this, I was looking for you, and e-mail me (jamessturch@cs.com) so I can tell you of my gratitude.
