picketed producer in movie history" - a distinction he
richly earned by taking on some of the most controversial
subjects of our time. In the process, he directed or
produced such classics of the American cinema as Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner, High Noon, On the Beach, Judgment at
Nuremberg, The Defiant Ones, Champion, Inherit the Wind,
Ship of Fools, Death of a Salesman, and The Caine Mutiny."
"He is Stanley Kramer, and now for the first time he tells
his story - from a boyhood some eighty years ago in the
Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan to the present. The
actors and actresses he hired during his long career reads
like a Who's Who of the golden age of American film: Marlon
Brando, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Fredric March,
Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly, Lee Marvin, Kirk Douglas, Humphrey
Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Sidney
Poitier, Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Burt Lancaster, Marlene
Dietrich, Judy Garland, Vivien Leigh. Unafraid and fiercely
independent, Kramer is regarded by many of today's leading
filmmakers as an important forerunner for his willingness to
tell any story, treat any subject, and overturn any sacred
cow in pursuit of a film of substance."--BOOK JACKET.
