Though not as famous as many other mid-century film writer-directors, the work of James Bridges is no less deserving of critical attention. Originally arriving in Hollywood to pursue acting, Bridges went on to write and direct such popular films as The Paper Chase, The China Syndrome and Urban Cowboy. This text tells the story of his life and career, utilizing new interviews with friends and collaborators; it also offers a detailed analysis of each of Bridges' eight feature films, including his lesser-known cult classics, September 30, 1955, and Mike's Murder. This overdue examination shines a light on a career well worth remembering.
