Marilyn Ann Moss is a film historian and a scholar of literature. A television critic for The Hollywood Reporter, she lives in Los Angeles.
"Biographer Marilyn Ann Moss . . . shows how Stevens was reborn
after the harrowing experience of World War II. The director of
light comedies returned with a darker picture of human nature and
serious intentions as an artist."--Milwaukee Shepherd Express
"Moss brings a deep sympathy and understanding to her portrait of
this sensitive, enigmatic artist whose work speaks so richly to us
about American life. She makes fertile use of Stevens's voluminous
papers to help illuminate his personality and working methods,
while offering fresh and original interpretations of his film,
appreciating their complexities as no one has done before."--Joseph
McBride, author of Searching for John Ford
"Moss's Giant represents the kind of scholarship that is enriched
by access to special collections and the kind of criticism that no
mere poring over memos, letters, and balance sheets can
achieve."--Film Quarterly
"Exceptionally well-written. . . . Should be part of every academic
library's cinema history collection."--Midwest Book Review
