ANTHONY MANN (1906-1967) is among the least appreciated of major American film directors. After working in the theater he began directing small-budget films, especially in the genre of film noir, in the 1940s. In the 1950s he directed, among a few other films, a series of tough and dark Westerns, the main basis of his high reputation among cinema aficionados today. The last two of these, Man of the West (1958) and Cimarron (1960, disowned by Mann), bear mythic-epic overtones and point toward the historical epics he made for producer Samuel Bronston in Europe, El Cid (1961) and The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964). His last completed film was the World War II drama The Heroes of Telemark (1965). He died while filming A Dandy in Aspic (1968), a Cold War espionage thriller. Mann had also directed, uncredited, the Fire of Rome sequence in Mervyn LeRoy’s Quo Vadis (1951) and was the original director of Spartacus (1960) before Stanley Kubrick.
