Description by OLDIES.com:
Lawrence Quirk conducts a fresh, probing survey of the incomparable career of not only the loveable Stewart persona shown in Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, but also the darker, more complex Stewart of Hitchcock's Vertigo, lost in the blackest necrophile dreams; and the fierce, brutal, cynical western adventurer of Anthony Mann's great action pictures.
Here is to be found not only the legendary shy knight who loved the spritely, elusive witch Margaret Sullivan and sassy lady Ginger Rogers, but who also courted heart-hungry widow Norma Shearer. Here, too, is Jimmy Stewart, a real-life World War II hero and Brigadier General.
Shrewd, self-protective, financially astute, the James Stewart that Quirk uncovers was no bumbling and naive Mr. Smith, but rather a Man of the World.
