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 nejvíce známý pro svůj esej z roku 1962 „Notes on the Auteur theory“, který popularizoval tuto techniku filmové kritiky v Americe. Svou kariéru zahájil psaním pro Village Voice, kde recenzoval filmy a literaturu, než přenesl Auteur teorii z Francie do Ameriky. Zde ji aplikoval na analýzu Hitchcockova filmu Psycho a rozvinul hlubší pochopení autorského vlivu. Po léta působil jako profesor na Kolumbijské univerzitě, kde vzdělával studenty v oblasti mezinárodního filmu a americké kinematografie.
