“This magnificent and important biography...is the best ever written on the man.” – The New Republic; “Mr. Schickel's excellent and important biography makes it clear that when the movers of our century are tallied, D.W. Griffith, flawed genius that he was, can never lose his eminent position.” – Peter Bogdanovich, The New York Times Book Review
