Otis Ferguson was an American writer best remembered for his music and film reviews in The New Republic in the 1930s. Although he can be seen as a predecessor to film critics James Agee, Manny Farber, Pauline Kael, and Andrew Sarris, he has been characterized by Robert Christgau as "the first rock critic" due to his appreciation of jazz and its impact on popular culture. Ferguson died in action during World War II. His film criticism is praised and discussed by critics Richard Schickel and Wesle
