...this country--culturally, socially, politically and economically--during the time frame of his obsession. Professor Aaron says the 1,000 or so characters Inman debriefed, so to speak (the more lurid the accounts, the better, Inman felt), "disclose aspects of American life only sporadically touched upon in contemporary fiction." In a way, the diary can be seen as a nonfiction novel. The nut wrought something important...

Robert Altman made his feature-film debut in 1957 with The James Dean Story. Martin Scorsese has made nearly as many documentaries as fiction features.
