Richard Fleischer

Jason A. Ney’s Richard Fleischer: Journeyman offers a thoughtful exploration of one of Hollywood’s most versatile directors.

Moving beyond the shadow of his legendary father, animator Max Fleischer, Richard Fleischer worked to carve out his own remarkable career across genres, from science fiction and historical epics to crime thrillers and fantasy adventures. Ney combines archival research with interviews from family members and collaborators to craft a vivid portrait of a hardworking, adaptable filmmaker whose contributions are often overlooked.

This biography is essential reading for classic film fans and anyone interested in Hollywood history.
