This is the first full-scale biography to definitively explore
the Academy Award-winning director’s personal life and sexuality in
the context of his extraordinary ground-breaking career. He was the
Oscar-winning director of such cinematic classics as “Meet Me in
St. Louis”, “An American in Paris”, and “Gigi”, and perhaps equally
well known as the husband of Judy Garland. But to say that Vincente
Minnelli’s personal life and sexuality informed his films is an
understatement. As Mark Griffin persuasively demonstrates, Minnelli
was all the while creating nothing short of an autobiography in
code. Drawing on over 100 interviews with those closest to
Minnelli-including Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, Angela Lansbury,
Tony Curtis, George Hamilton, Stella Stevens, Farley Granger, and
many more – and featuring over 70 rare, never-before-published
photographs, Mark Griffin turns the spotlight on Hollywood’s
‘elegant director’, revealing long-kept secrets that may have been
at the very heart of what made Minnelli a true Hollywood
genius.

”(E)njoyable… Viewing him with a sympathetic eye, Griffin
displays a neat turn of phrase even for Minnelli’s less
distinguished efforts.” –The Independent, 30 April 2010
