Title: Evergreen
Description: "A founding father of British filmmaking, Victor Saville created such classics as I Was a Spy; Evergreen; Goodbye, Mr. Chips; The Mortal Storm; A Woman's Face; and Green Dolphin Street.

Completed by Saville's collaborator, Hollywood biographer Roy Moseley, in the years following Saville's death in 1979, Evergreen: Victor Saville in His Own Words presents the esteemed filmmaker's memories of the development of the film industry in England and the United States, from the silent screen to "talkies," from black-and-white to Technicolor, from the golden age of Hollywood to the rise of television.".

"Saville's memoir provides an intimate and detailed look at his long relationships with studio moguls Mayer and Alexander Korda and his work with an impressive list of film stars, including Robert Donat, Greer Garson, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Hedy Lamarr, Margaret Sullavan, Ingrid Bergman, Jeanette MacDonald, Lana Turner, Deborah Kerr, Elizabeth Taylor, Errol Flynn, and Paul Newman.".

"With Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Balcon, and Herbert Wilcox, Saville was a cornerstone of the early British film industry. Evergreen takes the reader behind the scenes of film's golden age to reveal the tensions and power plays involved in studio filmmaking and struggles with stars, studios, and, many times, film censors, as well as the intricacies of early production, direction, and distribution methods."--BOOK JACKET.
