The Films of Fred Zinnemann
Fifty years after the start of his career - 25 years after High Noon, and ten years after A Man for All Seasons - FRED ZINNEMANN has been enduring the long, hard labour yet again. Soon the critics and the public will make their judgments, but one thing is certain: nothing will undermine this man's position as the most committed and consistent of the great Hollywood directors.
In this comprehensive review of his career, he talks about his experiences and the people he has directed - actors like Spencer Tracy , Montgomery Clift , and Marlon Brando , actresses like Julie Harris , Audrey Hepburn , and Jane Fonda.
' If I am not for myself, who is for me? And if I am for myself alone, what then am I? '
