Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Fine dj. First Edition. [very nice, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (Filmmakers, No. 88) Series (B&W photographs) "Drawing from his own ascent up the MGM Studio System, [the author] gudies the reader through a history of American film editing, beginning with its earliest days when film was snapped by hand. Not a glamorous account of Hollywood, the book gives film buffs and moviegoers a nuts-and-bolts look at the mechanics of editing from inside out." Winters's career as an editor began at MGM in 1928 (where his father worked in the wardrobe department), and lasted until the 1990s; his last recorded credit was on the 1995 film CUTTHROAT ISLAND, and in between he edited such little pictures as BEN-HUR, ON THE TOWN, QUO VADIS, SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, and a dozen films for director Blake Edwards, including THE PINK PANTHER and VICTOR/VICTORIA. Illustrated by (dj design) Deborah Clark (illustratore).…

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition (softcover issue). [nice clean as-new book, with no discernible wear]. Trade PB An extended oral history interview, conducted by film historian Rudy Behlmer, with Ridgeway (Reggie) Callow, one of Hollywood's veteran assistant directors, who worked in Hollywood from the early 1930s through the mid-1970s. His filmography includes such classics as GONE WITH THE WIND, REBECCA, THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE, SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and dozens of others. As Behlmer explains in his introduction, Callow's reminiscences present a unique perspective on classic studio-era film production, treating "the production of American feature films from a vantage point different from that of the producer, director, performer, technician, critic, or historian. This is neither the glamorous Hollywood, the executive suite Hollywood, nor is it the Hollywood of the carefully nurtured mystique of the legendary pioneer creative figures. This is the workaday film business on a lower level -- yet high enough for observation and relevant recall on major films and personalities. Here are the temperaments, creative aspects, humorous sidelights, and all the varieties of behind-the-scenes stories of film-making." (xx).…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Fine dj. First Edition. [as-new, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (B&W photographs) A fascinating little volume, the centerpiece of which -- the so-called "journal" -- is actually an edited version of a four lengthy letters, sent over the course of several months from the Tahiti location of WHITE SHADOWS IN THE SOUTH SEAS by its eventual director, W.S. "Woody" Van Dyke II, to his then girlfriend (and sometime script supervisor) Josephine Chippo, back in Los Angeles. The letters -- about equally divided between on-location reportage and pining-for-you expressions of his devotion -- were discovered in the early 1990s inside an old trunk at the home of a recently-deceased couple in the San Fernando Valley, and subsequently acquired by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Margaret Herrick Library, where they are held today as the Josephine Chippo papers. I refer to Van Dyke as the "eventual" director of WHITE SHADOWS because that's not how things started out: the crew was originally dispatched to its distant location under the direction of the great documentary filmmaker Robert Flaherty, the idea being that he would apply his documentarian's visual and ethnographic sensibilities to a dramatic romance of the South Seas, with Monte Blue and Raquel Torres as its stars. However, the producing studio (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), understandably dubious about Flaherty's ability to direct a fictional film, assigned Van Dyke to the company to assume responsibility for directing the picture's dramatic sequences. It was a big deal for Van Dyke, who had been directing primarily serials and westerns since 1917 but had only been under contract to M-G-M for about a year or so, and had yet to helm a major production. Long story short, when Flaherty proved unequal to the task, Van Dyke was asked to take over as the primary director, and ended up as the sole credited director. (Without divulging any spoilers, I will only note that anyone who might revere Flaherty as one of the gods of early cinema will have their eyes opened by Van Dyke's account of his behavior on this distant and difficult location, and by learning of the reasons for the studio's dismissal of Flaherty halfway through the shoot.) Editor Behlmer has framed and supplemented this unique document with a variety of documentation and commentary regarding Van Dyke, including: excerpts from the transcript of a story conference for TARZAN, THE APE MAN, which Van Dyke directed a few years later; a couple of 1930s fan magazine articles (one by Van Dyke himself); comments by several of his professional associates, including Myrna Loy and Ingrid Bergman; and a bibliography and filmography.
