The Many Lives of Cy Endfield

Cy Endfield (1914-1995) was a filmmaker who was also fascinated by the worlds of close-up magic, science, and invention. After directing several distinctive low-budget films in Hollywood, he was blacklisted in 1951 and fled to Britain. The fruit of years of archival research and personal interviews by Brian Neve, this title documents Endfield's many identities: among them second-generation immigrant, Jew, Communist, and exile.
