John Frankenheimerrsquo;s career as a professional director began and ended in television. In the mid-1950s; he won acclaim working on live productions for anthology series like Playhouse 90; and from the mid-1990s until his death in 2002 he helmed a string of Emmy-winning features for cable TV; including The Burning Season (1994) and Andersonville (1996). Despite these successes; Frankenheimerrsquo;s reputation rests primarily upon the nearly thirty feature films he directed; which range from bona fide classics like Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) and The Manchurian Candidate (1962) to such lesser achievements as Prophecy (1979) and Dead Bang (1989). Unfortunately for Frankenheimer; the discrepancy between his best films and his worst led many critics during his lifetime to dismiss him as someone whose talent dissipated in the late 1960s. In the decade since his death; however; several critics have emerged who reject the assertion that the quality of Frankenheimerrsquo;s output faded after an impressive start. In John Frankenheimer: Interviews; Essays; and Profiles; Stephen B. Armstrong has collected the most interesting and insightful articles and features published on this underrated director. While question-and-answer exchanges make up the bulk of the items featured here; also included are journalistic profiles of the director at work and essays Frankenheimer himself wrote for magazine audiences. In addition; readers will find a series of interviews of people who worked with Frankenheimer; including actors Roy Scheider; Tim Reid; and the directorrsquo;s wife of 40 years; Evans Frankenheimer. In this volume; the director and others look back on a career that included such films as Seven Days in May; The Train; Grand Prix; The Iceman Cometh; Black Sunday; and Ronin. The first collection of its kind; John Frankenheimer: Interviews; Essays; and Profiles enables those who value the directorrsquo;s work to develop a better understanding of the man through his own words and the words of others.

They are not the be-all to end-all by any means since each child is different and will respond to requests to pose differently. The author presents some wonderful examples and suggestions that should be of great help to anyone wanting to photograph children either professionally or for ones own enjoyment.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
