"James Agee was the author of film reviews for The Nation and Time, novels including A Death in the Family (1957) (posthumous Pulitzer Prize), screenplays including The African Queen (1951) and The Night of the Hunter (1955), and a book collaboration with photographer Walker Evans for Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941). IN THE STREET was his sole work as a filmmaker, shooting his own footage with an amateur camera." - Bruce Posner
