A "prose documentary" of the eminent director's life and work, Joseph H. Lewis: Overview, Interview, and Filmography is the first book to tackle his noteworthy and often too-narrowly examined career. Interspersing Lewis's own memories and anecdotes with the author's framing material yields a work that broadly explores all of Lewis's work, from his famous My Name Is Julia Ross and the film noir masterpiece Gun Crazy to his little-known start in B Westerns (among memorable titles like Blazing Six Shooters and That Gang of Mine) and his later career directing episodes of television series like Gunsmoke and Bonanza.
