A vital collection of essays on Budd Boetticher’s long directing careerOne of the most important yet overlooked of Hollywood auteurs, Budd Boetticher was responsible for a number of classic films, including his famous ‘Ranown’ series of westerns starring Randolph Scott. With influential figures like Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood acknowledging Boetticher’s influence, and with growing academic interest in his work, Gary D. Rhodes and Robert Singer present a vital collection of essays on the director’s long career, from a range of international scholars. Looking at celebrated films like Buchanan Rides Alone (1958) and Comanche Station (1960), as well as at lesser-known works like Escape in the Fog (1945) and Behind Locked Doors (1948), this book also addresses Boetticher’s influential television work on the James Garner series Maverick, and Boetticher’s continuing aesthetic influence on contemporary TV classics like Breaking Bad.ContributorsKarina Aveyard, University of SydneyLucy Fife Donaldson, University of St. AndrewsRobert Guffey, California State University – Long BeachFredrik Gustafsson, Swedish Film Institute and Örebro UniversityBrooks E.
