Monte Hellman

"This book is both a biography of Hellman and a critical study of the films he has directed, which include The Shooting, Two-Lane Blacktop and Iguana. It also covers films to which Hellman has contributed in other capacities, such as Robocop and Reservoir Dogs." "Attention is placed on the hallmarks of Hellman's work, his dominant themes and obsessive characters, and all the films are subjected to close stylistic analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
