Steven Bach is the former senior vice-president and head of worldwide productions for United Artists studios. Bach’s 1985 book Final Cut chronicles his involvement in the disastrous production of Heaven’s Gate, a film widely considered one of the biggest Hollywood flops of all time.

Bach is the author of The Life and Legend of Marlene Dietrich and Dazzler: The Life and Times of Moss Hart. He currently teaches film studies at Columbia University and Bennington College.

His biography of the Nazi-associated filmmaker Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl, was published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2007. The book overturns many of the claims Reifenstahl put forward in her self-defence regarding her contact with Hitler’s regime. Source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Bach
