Michael Mann first made his mark as a writer for such television programs as Starsky and Hutch; Police Story; and Vegas. In 1981 he made his feature film directing debut with the James Caan thriller Thief; and in the 1980s he served as a writer and executive producer for the groundbreaking programs Miami Vice and Crime Story. Though he has delved into other genres; Mannrsquo;s career as a writer; producer; and director has consistently focused on criminal activity; from small-time hoods and professional thieves to corporate manipulators and serial killers.In Michael Mann: Crime Auteur; Steven Rybin looks at the television programs and films that Mann has stamped with his personal signature. This book closely examines the themes and techniques used in films such as Manhunter; Heat; The Insider; and Collateral and connects these elements to his work on the non-genre films The Last of the Mohicans and Ali. A revised and significantly expanded edition of The Cinema of Michael Mann (2007); this book includes new chapters on Public Enemies and the big screen version of Miami Vice; as well as Mannrsquo;s work on the shows Crime Story and Luck. Covering Mannrsquo;s entire career; this book will be of interest to fans of the writer/directorrsquo;s body of work as well as to scholars of both film and television.

Great audition pieces!!By Ryan J LaneI love the show and the music!!! This score will help me when it comes to auditioning for rock musicals!!!12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Aida songbookBy Sarah E. HydeThis book is very thorough; includes most all of the songs from the show. Chords are provided for less advanced musicians; but the piano score is quite difficult - not for beginners! Intermediates will be able to play about half the songs easily. True to the soundtrack; and all the parts are provided as well as the lyrics and details about which character is singing. Love this book!
