Nicholas Ray: An American Journey

Synopsis

This is a biography of Nicholas Ray - one of the most distinctive directors in America in the 1950s. Films like "They Live by the Night", "In a Lonely Place", "Johnny Guitar" and "Bigger than Life" reveal the psychic ills of the 1950s more than any other films of that period. Ray's brooding pessimism and rebellious individualism reached its peak in his most famous film, "Rebel Without a Cause".
