Edward Dmytryk's first film, The Hawk, came out in 1935. Over the next four decades, he directed more than fifty films, including The Caine Mutiny, The Young Lions and The Carpetbaggers. His autobiography, It's a Hell of a Life but not a Bad Living, appeared in 1978. Dmytryk now lives, writes and teaches in Hollywood.

In On Screen Directing, he distills a lifetime of experience as a film director into a dozen short essays on his craft, spanning the filmmaking process from script selection to the sneak preview of the finished work. Illustrated with both movie stills and anecdotes from his work, this book will fascinate film buffs and instruct students of filmmaking.
