Through 50 years and 50 films--from "Holiday, Dinner at Eight" and "The Philadelphia Story" to "Camille," "A Star Is Born" and "My Fair Lady"--George Cukor created some of Hollywood's greatest motion pictures. He was known as a "woman's director," but behind that label lurked a stigma: He was the only gay man among his peers. Patrick McGilligan's landmark life received extraordinarily attention on its original publication in 1991 as the first book to discuss Cukor's homosexuality openly.

"That rarity of rarities among Hollywood biographies: a full-bodied study of a man and his mıtier, equally insightful about the life and the art."

Andrew Sarris, New York Times Book Review

"This funny and surprising book, with its vigorous portrait of Hollywood's most glamorous age, is an exemplary critic biography and an important film book....It propels Patrick McGilligan into the front ranks of film biographers."
