Leonard Lopate at Large
Mon, Jun 15, 2020 13:00 PM
- Sydney Ladensohn Stern on The Brothers Mankiewicz -
Herman J. (1897–1953) and Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993) wrote, produced, and directed over 150 pictures.
Herman wrote the screenplay for “Citizen Kane” with Orson Welles, sharing the honors for the film’s only Academy Award. WhileJoe earned two of his four Oscars for writing and directing 1950 Best Picture winner “All About Eve.”
Despite triumphs as diverse as “Monkey Business” and “Cleopatra,” “Pride of the Yankees and “Guys and Dolls,” the brothers spent their Hollywood years deeply discontented and yearning for what they did not have?a career in New York theater.
In this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI, Sydney Ladensohn Stern discusses writing the first-ever portrait of these two legends of the silver screen in her book “The Brothers Mankiewicz: Hope, Heartbreak, and Hollywood Classics.”
