In this first critical biography, Brown (formerly theater arts, Illinois Wesleyan U.) examines how Pakula's films relate to this most modest of men. Although he produced To Kill a Mockingbird and directed the blockbusters Sophie's Choice and All the President's Men, Pakula chose to remain steadfastly behind the scenes, expressing his faith in characterization and his politics and social convictions through nuance. Pakula was the perfect "actor's director," as evidenced by the extended interview material Brown presents here, and he was far more interested in the art and craft of making movies than making much of himself. Brown follows Pakula from the Broadway stage, analyzing his productions, and works through each of his films as frames for his life as well as his work. Brown closes with the tantalizing fact that Pakula was working on a film about FDR at the time of his death in 1998. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
