Sam B. Girgus
Sam B. Girgus (born c. 1942) is an American film and literature scholar, professor of English at Vanderbilt University.[1] He is well known for his analysis of the works of Woody Allen in his books such as The Films of Woody Allen (2002) and A Companion to Woody Allen (2013) with Peter J. Bailey.[2][3] He believes ultimately that Allen's films undermine the world in which we live.[4] Girgus has also authored a book on Clint Eastwood and books such as The American self: myth, ideology, and popular culture (1981), Hollywood Renaissance: The Cinema of Democracy in the Era (1998), America on Film: Modernism, Documentary, and a Changing America (2002)[2] and many others. Several of his works have addressed the relationship between film and literature and politics and democratic individualism.[5][6]
