＜p＞＜strong＞A “lively” memoir by the Hollywood legend about the making of ＜em＞Spartacus＜/em＞, with a foreword by George Clooney (＜em＞Los Angeles Times＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞One of the world’s most iconic movie stars, Kirk Douglas has distinguished himself as a producer, philanthropist, and author of ten works of fiction and memoir. Now, more than fifty years after the release of his enduring epic ＜em＞Spartacus＜/em＞, Douglas reveals the riveting drama behind the making of the legendary gladiator film. Douglas began producing the movie in the midst of the politically charged era when Hollywood’s moguls refused to hire anyone accused of Communist sympathies. In a risky move, Douglas chose Dalton Trumbo, a blacklisted screenwriter, to write ＜em＞Spartacus＜/em＞*.*** Trumbo was one of the “Unfriendly Ten,” men who had gone to prison rather than testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee about their political affiliations. Douglas’s source material was already a hot property, as the novel ＜em＞Spartacus＜/em＞ was written by Howard Fast while he was in jail for defying HUAC.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the financial future of his young family at stake, Douglas plunged into a tumultuous production both on- and off-screen. As both producer and star of the film, he faced explosive moments with young director Stanley Kubrick, struggles with a leading lady, and negotiations with giant personalities, including Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, and Lew Wasserman. Writing from his heart and from his own meticulously researched archives, Kirk Douglas, at ninety-five, looks back at his audacious decisions. He made the most expensive film of its eraーbut more importantly, his moral courage in giving public credit to Trumbo effectively ended the notorious Hollywood blacklist.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A master storyteller, Douglas paints a vivid and often humorous portrait in ＜em＞I Am Spartacus!＜/em＞ The book is enhanced by newly discovered period photography of the stars and filmmakers both on and off the set.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞He was one of the brightest stars in Hollywood, a hard-charging actor whose intensity on the screen was mirrored in his personal life. As Kirk Douglas grew older, he became less impetuous and more reflective. In this poignant and inspiring new memoir, Douglas contemplates what life is all about, weighing current events from his frame of mind at ninety while summoning the passions of his younger days.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Kirk Douglas was a born storyteller, and throughout ＜em＞Let's Face It＜/em＞ he tells wonderful tales and shares favorite jokes and hard-won insights.

He writes of his sadness that many of his closest friends are no longer with us; the book includes many moving stories such as one about a regular poker game at Frank Sinatra's house at which he and Anne were fixtures along with Gregory Peck, Jack Lemmon, and their wives. Though many of the players are gone, the game continues to this day.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Let's Face It＜/em＞, Douglas reflects on how his Jewish faith became more and more important to him over the years. He offers strong opinions on everything from anti-Semitism to corporate greed, from racism to Hurricane Katrina, and from the war in Iraq to the situation in Israel.

＜p＞Kirk Douglas was the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, his father a collector and seller of rags. After service in the Navy during World War II, he moved to Hollywood, oozing masculinity and charm. Conquering Tinseltown and bedding its leading ladies, he became the personification of the American dream, moving from obscurity and (literally) rags to riches and major-league fame.＜/p＞ ＜p＞En route to his status as a myth and legend, his performances reflected both his personal pain and the brutalization of the characters he played, too. In Champion (1949), he was beaten to a fatal bloody pulp. As the sleazy, heartless reporter in Ace in the Hole (1951), he was stabbed with a knife in his gut. As Van Gogh in Lust for Life (1956), he writhed in emotional agony and unrequited love before slicing off his ear with a razor. His World War I movie, Paths of Glory (1957), grows more profound over the years. He lost an eye in The Vikings (1958), and, as the Thracian slave leading a revolt against Roman legions in Spartacus (1960), he was crucified.＜/p＞ ＜p＞All of this is brought out, with photos and stories you’ve probably never heard before, in this remarkable testimonial to the last hero of Hollywood’s swashbuckling Golden Age, an inspiring testimonial to the values and core beliefs of an America that’s Gone With the Wind, yet lovingly remembered as a time when it, in many ways, was truly great.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
