520 1 "John Schlesinger's career in cinema, stage, opera, and
television spanned half a century. It was, however, his
films that made him famous, including such classics as
Midnight Cowboy, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Marathon Man, Billy
Liar, Darling, and Day of the Locust, to The Falcon and
the Snowman, Madame Sousatzka, Pacific Heights, Cold
Comfort Farm, Separate Tables, and An Englishman Abroad."
"In Edge of Midnight, author and historian William J. Mann
chronicles Schlesinger's life and career, from his early
documentary days at the BBC, to his emergence as one of
the four Angry Young Men of British film in the 1960s
(along with Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, and Tony
Richardson) who sought to bring working class issues to
the screen, to his Academy Award for the X-rated Midnight
Cowboy and his glittering nights as a Hollywood host, to
his death on July 24, 2003, brought on by a massive stroke
two years earlier." "In writing this authorized biography,
Mann received the full cooperation of Schlesinger himself,
as well as that of his family and his companion of 36
years, Michael Childers. In addition, he was granted
complete access to tapes, diaries, production notes, and
correspondence, as well as interviews with many of the
actors, crew members, friends, and colleagues who shared
their thoughts and memories."--BOOK JACKET.
