Steve McQueen: The Actor and his Films,
is the definitive account of every film that the iconic actor made. This
lavishly illustrated book devotes nearly 500 pages to Steve McQueen’s career
and tracks his journey from juvenile delinquent, to Marine, to an aspiring actor
breaking into Hollywood, until he became a global superstar and the highest-paid
actor of his era. Included are numerous behind the scenes tales of events that
occurred leading up to and during filming, and fascinating insights into
McQueen’s acting techniques and motivations.
Each
film is allocated one chapter. The chapters begin with a précis of the
particular movie. Then events surrounding its making are described, uncovering
new facts and insights. This is followed by an analysis of its success, and
finally a significant scene is discussed in detail. Steve
McQueen: The Actor and his Films is extensively illustrated with over 1000
color and black & white images, including posters from around the world,
lobby cards, memorabilia, many never-before seen candid stills and rare vintage
advertising materials.
