		I never turned down a script."--and the fact that Tourneur toiled in such low-esteem genres as swashbucklers, B-westerns, and horror, biographer Chris Fujiwara succeeds in arguing that Tourneur was an auteur of note, not a sometimes-lucky journeyman technician.
		In the book's early pages, Maurice comes off as a self-obsessed and neglectful father, and Fujiwara, while noting the possible effects of this abuse, doesn't present it as a general theory for explaining the disjointed relationships featured in the younger Tourneur's films.
		Whatever the genre, Tourneur was obsessed with human frailty in the face of fate and isolation.

		Tourneur made movies about people who lurk in the shadows, something he did himself, as the son of Maurice Tourneur, the outgoing, highly regarded film director (The Last of the Mohicans, etc.), who arrived from Paris to stand tall in 1920s Hollywood.
		Crisscrossing America, Fujiwara watched everything he could locate in archives, from Tourneur's short fiction films for MGM in the 1930s to expert westerns such as Canyon Passage (1946), from AIP quickies such as The Comedy of Terrrors to late-career televison assignments such as Night Call (1963), a legendaryTwilight Zone.

		Tourneur is a storyteller as well as a maker of motion pictures, and he knows the value of restraint as well as that of emphasis, and so does not too heavily underscore any incident for the sake of unrelated and independent effect he might obtain with it.
