Book Description
Whether directing in the cinema or the theatre, Lindsay Anderson always found the time to write. His interest in film began as a critic in the late forties, when his pieces in the film magazine Sequence (which he edited) and the national press established him as a critic of trenchant authority. He continued to speak his mind on cinema, theatre, the arts and other issues throughout his life, and these writings, collected in book form for the first time, reveal a lively and probing mind. Never satisfied with anything less than the truth, they are as fresh today as when they were written.
Never Apologise: The Collected Writings of Lindsay Anderson FROM THE PUBLISHER
Although he was not a prolific auteur, Lindsay Anderson's films were widely acclaimed, from his 1953 Oscar winner Thursday's Children to the 1968 masterpiece If. Collected here are essays and articles on a variety of entertainment subjects by a director the London Observer called "a shrewd and lucid critic." Autobiographical reminiscences — including commentary on Orson Welles, Bette Davis and Sir John Gielgud — and photos round out the text.
