Fifty Hollywood Directors introduces the most important, iconic and influential filmmakers who worked in Hollywood between the end of the silent period and the birth of the blockbuster.

Each entry discusses a director’s practices and body of work and features a brief biography and suggestions for further reading. Entries include:
