Praise for Norman Jewison: A Director's Life""Norman Jewison: A Director's Life is] a fascinating story told with verve and authority."" —Toronto Star ""To read Norman Jewison: A Director’s Life, is to wonder why this most consequential of directors wasn’t better known. A big thanks to Ira Wells for giving biography treatment to a major Hollywood creator who strangely never became a legend.” —Forbes “Ira Wells makes the persuasive case that Jewison deserves more fame than he has received, and along the way delivers a rollicking tale of Hollywood during Jewison’s most active years and plenty of backstage trivia.” —Air Mail “[A]n exhaustively researched look at the career of the country's most prolific, but least understood, filmmaker. The book is an ambitious, and frequently essential, endeavour.” —Globe and Mail “A thoroughly enjoyable and detailed look at a memorable life in film.” —Library Journal
