(B&W photographs) "This captivating new study presents a totally new perspective on Flaherty, through the eyes of someone who knew him personally -- the br…illiant British filmmaker and scholar Paul Rotha. A colleague and close friend of Flaherty, Rotha gives us a powerfully written biography that is a balanced and intimate look at the life and work of an American genius. Editor Jay Ruby has restored the Rotha biography, including a wealth of anecdotes, letters, and memoirs that begin to bring Robert Flaherty the man info focus. An especially value dimension of this work is the appraisal of Flaherty the filmmaker from the viewpoint of a major figure of the British industry." (That "restored" comment needs a little explanation: as extensively detailed in his introduction, the editor was working from two different manuscripts -- one edited, the other unedited -- of Rotha's book, which was completed in 1959 but never published, although it was extensively used as source material for Alexander Calder-Marshall's 1963 biography of Flaherty, "The Innocent Eye." Rotha himself died the year after this book appeared, but according to the introduction he was not directly involved in its preparation.).
