Excerpt from Introduction: “…Mann has not only positioned himself as a storyteller with flair but also as an implicative teller of his own telling, an illusionist who never forgets to move his audience by indicating, through the exactness of his compositions and the intermittent foregrounding of style over theme...that what we are looking at is an image, composed in a particular way, with particular sounds accompanying them.” This book is clearly a well researched dive into Mann’s genre films.
