The S. George Ullman Memoir - Sovereign Act Edition

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume presents the personal memoir of S. George Ullman, written in 1975, alongside the complete text of his earlier book titled, Valentino As I Knew Him. Ullman was silent film star Rudolph Valentino's business manager, confidant and close personal friend during the height of Valentino's career. His unique position offers an intimate, firsthand view of Valentino's professional life, his working methods and private character as well as the realities of the silent era film industry behind the scenes. The 1975 memoir which was unpublished in Ullman's lifetime expands on his earlier account with greater reflection, personal detail and historical distance. It includes candid observations, professional correspondence and recollections written near the end of Ullman's life; providing a rare perspective unavailable in contemporary sources. The manuscript was preserved by Ullman's children who granted exclusive authorization for its publication. Author and historian Evelyn Zumaya Floris presents the memoir here together with Ullman's original 1926 text, allowing readers to trace the content and the evolution of the account across fifty years. This edition restores an important primary source to the historical record and offers scholars, film historians and general readers a direct voice from Valentino's inner circle.
