Klappentext

A compelling look at Steve McQueen's final two films, with exclusive photographs and first-hand accounts.

Steve McQueen, The Last Reel offers an in-depth look at Steve McQueen's final two films, Tom Horn and The Hunter , with expert insights from McQueen historian Marshall Terrill. It explores McQueen's return to the screen after a five-year hiatus, as he transitioned into middle age and navigated personal and professional change. Through meticulous research and personal accounts, including quotes from forty-five hours of previously unread tapes and conversations with McQueen, Terrill examines McQueen's dedication to his craft, particularly in Tom Horn , where he immersed himself in the character of the legendary frontiersman. The Hunter , McQueen's swan song, showcases his ability to embrace his aging persona and poke fun at his own image, marking a profound shift in his career.

The book also features approximately four hundred behind-the-scenes photographs taken by McQueen's wife, Barbara McQueen, offering a unique, personal perspective on the actor's final days on set. As the forty-fifth anniversary of these films approaches, this retrospective captures the evolution of McQueen's artistry and legacy.
