Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Photographs (illustratore). Take nine creative people of catholic tastes, divergent viewpoints, representative of a score of different vocations and avocations, whose only common denominator is a liking for movies as a warming part of life. Make sure that each is a superb essayist and chiefly employed in writing about motion pictures for magazines or newspapers. Put the best of their astringencies, drolleries, scholarly criticism, passionate approval and disapproval between two covers.The recipe results in a dish that movie aficionados will relish for its professionalism and as a departure from the standard fare so often spooned out in the '70's. Editor Alistair Cooke in 1936 invited the eight fellow-critics whose work is included here to join him in what he conceived at first to be 'a casual chronicle of pleasure and pain in the movies.' That it turned out to be more than casual is due to the surpassing skills of the Nine. Here is Graham Greene, then film critic of The Spectator, writing about The Case of the Lucky Legs, and on Bing Crosby, whom he describes as representing 'permanent, if disagreeable, human characteristics of nostalgia and self-pity.' Read Meyer Levin's savage and accurate diatribe about American patriotic movies. See Robert Forsythe provide similar sentiments about the English cinema. There is endless fascination, and great critical and historical value, in noting how writers of this calibre reacted in the '30's to Soviet films such as Chapayev, to Frank Capra's comedies, to Garden of Allah, Modem Times, Klondike Annie, Camille and King Kong.In addition to the three gentlemen mentioned above, Robert Herring, Don Herold, John Marks, Otis Ferguson,' Cecilia Ager, Kyle Crichton and Mr. Cooke himself provide enough ingredients to make movie buffs wonder whatever happened to the good old days when movie critics knew that the world was full of a number of things and didn't hesitate to express themselves on a variety of subjects in pungent, jargon-free fashion. For this new edition of a book first published in 1937, Alistair Cooke has provided a Foreword which looks both forward and backward, and an annotated index citing technical details of the films discussed in the essays. Some 140 black and white photographs provide a lively addenda. Editor Cooke says about himself that, much as he likes movies, he 'is happy indeed that he gave only a little of his life to them and most of it to American politics, the landscape of the West and golf, fishing, and every known indoor game except bridge.'
