Zusammenfassung: | Leonard contributes intriguing, fact-filled "comment and critique" sections that make this more than a mere listing of casts and credits. Since a high proportion of films have derived from stage origins, the volume will be useful to anyone looking for background (or remake) information, or delving into the symbiosis among the three media. - First published in Britain in 1972. - The first chapter, which is the most ambitious, defines the studio system, establishing the functions of the director, producer, and screenwriter. [...]Giannetti also discusses the role of the star - a facet of production that could certainly use more scholarly attention. Night thoughts: a film of Camino Real with John Carradine (Don Quixote), Warren Beatty (Casanova), Peter Finch (Lord Byron), and Robert DeNiro (Kilroy). - Because much of the actress's work spans 'twenties silent and early 'thirties sound, the author's researched, conscientious film credits and synopses document many titles little-seen or noted in movie histories: movies like Simple Sis (1927), State Street Sadie (1928) and Penthouse (1933). - |
