Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Photographs (illustratore). 1st Edition. One of the most important aspects of the history of the American motion picture has been the contribution of the character actor; the person who appears in a kind of role so frequently that he practically creates the role itself. But through the years he has been little recognized, often neglected, and many times ignored by the moviegoer whose wide-eyed looks are only for the glamorous star. Alfred Twomey and Arthur McClure hope to remedy this oversight by presenting to the reader, in The Versatiles, a collection of hundreds of photographs and biographical sketches of the finest and most often seen character actors and actresses who performed in motion pictures between 1930 and 1955. The authors were able to obtain photos and biographical information containing personal background, career background, and anecdotal material for 400 of the supporting players, and photos and brief career facts for 200 other actors and actresses. This period of years was selected because it marked the apex of the "Golden Years" of the American talking motion picture. Every studio had its own group of character actors under contract, and they were used frequently and with great versatility throughout the company's products. The studios always made an effort to cast a "type" in various featured parts. This made it necessary to define just what was the "featured" player. These characters were often more than supporting players. Frequently they were as important to the story as the stars, but their names were listed below the titles rather than above. Many of them became entrenched in one type of role and repeated the same kind of portrayal over and over. But many character actors spanned a wide range of emotions with the versatility of their performances. These actors brought life to a given scene. Many of the character roles had little to do with the plot but their technical importance in terms of acting was considerable. The character actors were specialists in every sense of the word. In looking back at some of the great motion pictures produced during the period, particular roles by character actors stand out: Sergeant York, for all its gripping story and Academy Award winning performance by Gary Cooper, would have proved much less potent without a character actress of Margaret Wycherly's ability in the role of the mother. The same sort of situation occurred in the Grapes of Wrath, in which Henry Fonda starred and gave an excellent performance. But the question may be asked, where would the story have been without Jane Darwell as Ma Joad? Moviegoers fondly remember these characters and the types that they played in picture after picture. How often has Ray Teal been seen as the local troublemaker in Western towns? Phillip Ober and Henry O'Neill consistently played executive types. Stanley Clements and William Benedict were called upon dozens of times to play either bellhops, jockeys, or punks. Dick Foran and Jack Haley were often seen as singing cops, and Noah Berry, Jr., and Harry Garey, Jr. were always cast as the shy, likable friend of the hero in Westerns. With a Foreword by Irene Dunne, an introductory essay devoted to the discussion of the historical significance of supporting players in the American motion pictures, and hundreds of magnificent photos, these pages will evoke a pleasant memory from the past. All orders shipped protected in a box. This is a large book and will require extra postage. Book. Codice articolo 001038
