Golden-age Hollywood, modern Las Vegas, JFK-era scandal and international intrigue from Lee Server, the New York Times bestselling author of Ava Gardner: Love is Nothing...
A singular figure in the annals of the American underworld, Johnny Rosselli's career flourished for an extraordinary fifty years, from the bloody years of bootlegging in the Twenties as the last prot g of Al Capone to the modern era of organized crime as a dominant corporate power. The mob's "Man in Hollywood," Johnny Rosselli introduced big-time crime to the movie industry. Alluring and glamorous, Rosselli befriended many of the biggest names in the movie capital--including studio boss Harry Cohn, helping him to fund Columbia Pictures--and seduced some of its greatest female stars, including Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe. In a remarkable turn of events, Johnny himself would become a Hollywood filmmaker, producing two of the best film noirs of the 1940s.
Following years in federal prison, Rosselli began a new venture, overseeing the birth and heyday of Las Vegas. Working for new Chicago boss Sam Giancana, he became the gambling mecca's behind-the-scenes boss while enjoying the Rat Pack nightlife with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. In the 1960s, in the most unexpected chapter in an extraordinary life, Rosselli became the central figure in a bizarre plot involving the Kennedy White House, the CIA, and an attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro. Based on years of research, written with compelling style and vivid detail, Handsome Johnny is the great telling of an amazing tale.

Описание: Roberto Rossellini (1906-1977),movie-maker, bon vivant, and passionate intellectual,was the key figure of Italian neo-realism, the godfather of the French New Wave, and a television pioneer the maker of such classics as Open City, Paisan, Stromboli, Flowers of St. Francis, Voyage in Italy, and Louis XIV Anna Magnani`s lover Ingrid Bergman`s husband and Isabella Rossellini`s father. Continually enmeshed in controversy, perhaps no other figure in the history of world cinema has been so reviled,and so revered. Tag Gallagher`s masterful biography of Rossellini, the first in any language, was fifteen years in the making. It is the result of assiduous research, lengthy interviews with almost everyone who knew him, and investigations into the making and reception of his films. The cast of characters includes Vittorio Mussolini, Il Duce`s son and Rossellini`s Fascist-era producer Howard Hughes, who produced Stromboli and then, in a fit of jealousy over Ingrid Bergman, butchered its American release and dozens of other people. Combining a portrait of a dynamic and daring man with brilliant discussions of his work, Tag Gallagher tells a story as rich and moving as Rossellini`s miraculous films.
