Parker Tyler (1904-1974) was a noted American film critic, and this text is regarded as his most significant work. Devoted to homosexuality in films, it aims to look beyond the obvious and to observe the psychology of sex roles, at the same time recognising film as the realm of contemporary mythology. Tyler was once described as one of the most consistently interesting and provocative writers on film that America has produced, "well-informed and free of cant".

Tento kritik je najviac známy pre svoju esej z roku 1962 „Notes on the Auteur theory“, ktorá popularizovala túto techniku filmovej kritiky v Amerike. Svoju kariéru začal písaním pre Village Voice, kde recenzoval filmy a literatúru, predtým ako preniesol Auteur teóriu z Francúzska do Ameriky. Tu ju aplikoval na analýzu Hitchcockovho filmu Psycho a rozvinul hlbšie pochopenie autorského vplyvu. Po celé roky pôsobil ako profesor na Kolumbijskej univerzite, kde vzdelával študentov v oblasti medzinárodného filmu a americkej kinematografie.
