DANNY SELZNICK ON FATHER
DAVID O SELZNICK
LISTEN TO SHOW
DAVID O SELZNICK
The name David O. Selznick is synonymous with the term producer. Neither before Selznick, nor since, has there been such a powerful producing presence.
Personal producing presence.
For it was Selznick’s personal vision, not necessarily the director’s, which defined a Selznick film. Whether we’re talking King Kong, David Copperfield, A Tale Of Two Cities, Prisoner Of Zenda, A Star is Born, Gone With The Wind, Rebecca, Since You Went Away, or Duel In The Sun, each of these films bears the Selznick stamp. Given today’s deification of the director above all others, David O. Selznick is an especially intriguing – and controversial – Hollywood legend.
Tune in to ICONS Radio Hour as Daniel Selznick (himself a producer), son of David O. Selznick, discusses his father’s remarkable career.
