Description
James Mason: A Study in Stardom
Sarah Thomas's study of James Mason offers a nuanced exploration of his career and star persona, moving beyond the common image of the brooding actor to reveal the complexity of his work. This analysis examines three key strands central to understanding stardom: the star persona, industry and power, and screen performance.
Thomas delves into Mason's remarkable filmography, covering a wide range of genres and collaborations with notable directors such as Hitchcock and Kubrick. She also considers his post-1962 career, off-screen celebrity status, non-film work, comic and vocal performances, and the star's own self-commentary.
