| Summary |
This title tells the story of one of the most celebrated and forgotten directors of the silent film era.

Lured by the opportunities on offer in the exciting world of New York's moving picture industry, he abandoned his studies for the cinema, becoming a successful director. But for this obstinate perfectionist life in the newly organised Hollywood studio system was anathema, and in the early thirties, Ingram abandoned cinema for a life of travel and writing, an all but forgotten name when he died |
