Lewis enjoyed a monumental career in many genres, including film noir and B-movies (with the East Side Kids) as well as an extensive and often overlooked TV career. In \u003cem\u003eThe Films of Joseph H. Lewis\u003c\/em\u003e, editor Gary D. Rhodes, PhD. gathers notable scholars from around the globe to examine the full range of Lewis's career. While some studies analyze Lewis's work in different areas, others focus on particular films, ranging from poverty row fare to westerns and \"television films.\" Overall, this collection offers fresh perspectives on Lewis as an auteur, a director responsible for individually unique works as well as a sustained and coherent style.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Essays in part 1 investigate the texts and contexts that were important to Lewis's film and television career, as contributors explore his innovative visual style and themes in both mediums. Contributors to part 2 present an array of essays on specific films, including Lewis's remarkable and prescient Invisible Ghost and other notable films \u003cem\u003eMy Name Is Julia Ross, So Dark the Night\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Big Combo\u003c\/em\u003e. Part 3 presents an extended case study of Lewis's most famous and-arguably-most important work, \u003cem\u003eGun Crazy\u003c\/em\u003e. Contributors take three distinct approaches to the film: in the context of its genre as film noir and modernist and postmodernist film; in its relationship to masculinity and masochism; and in terms of ethos and ethics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Films of Joseph H.
