He sought to address the major social, political, and historical questions of his time in films designed to appeal to a wide public. Blazing a trail in the examination of controversial issues such as drug addiction (\u003ci\u003eThe Man with the Golden Arm\u003c\/i\u003e) and homosexuality (\u003ci\u003eAdvise \u0026amp; Consent\u003c\/i\u003e) and in the frank, sophisticated treatment of adult material (\u003ci\u003eAnatomy of a Murder\u003c\/i\u003e), Preminger broke the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and the blacklist. He also made some of Hollywood's most enduring film noir classics, including \u003ci\u003eLaura\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFallen Angel\u003c\/i\u003e. More than anyone else, Preminger represented the transition from the Hollywood of the studios to the decentralized, wheeling-and-dealing New Hollywood of today. Chris Fujiwara's \"studious, informative, often astutely argued\" (Gerald Peary, \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix\u003c\/i\u003e) biography follows Preminger throughout his varied career, penetrating his carefully constructed public persona and revealing the many layers of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Fujiwara\u003c\/b\u003e's other books include \u003ci\u003eJacques Tourneur: The Cinema of Nightfall\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDefining Moments in Movies: The Greatest Films, Stars, Scenes, and Events That Made Movie Magic\u003c\/i\u003e (as general editor), and \u003ci\u003eJerry Lewis\u003c\/i\u003e.
