Not bad look at the life of the should-be-better-known director. I would've liked more personal insight and memoir of the writer's relationship him being his son. It waffles on a bit - for example there's a lot of plot recapping. The book could've done with a more vigorous edit.
Still, Wellman's an interesting guy - war service, great skill as a director. He seemed to make a classic every five films or so.
