Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Movies At the end of four years I had produced a manuscript of ap proximately words. The editorial board of one publishing house to whom it had been submitted suggested presenting it in three volumes! The mere thought of three volumes disheartened me so thoroughly that the manuscript was retired to my shelves. Then Harry Block, an editor who had read portions of the manu script, returned from a year's absence abroad. He rescued the book from my library shelves, read it, and generously offered to assist me in reducing it to one-volume length. Thanks to him that work has been done. Without his enthusiasm, intelligence, and skill, I do not believe that the book could ever have been completed.

Download or read book A Pictorial History of the Movies Classic Reprint written by Deems Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pictorial History of the Movies Twenty years ago, people used to excuse a bad movie by remarking that the motion pic ture is in its infancy. Today, whenever a par ticularly bad picture swims into our ken, we say the same thing sarcastically; confident that we have thereby delivered a stinging rebuke to the unfortunate movies for not developing faster. Yet consider the motion picture's immediate an cestor, the drama. Twenty-four hundred years ago, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and Sophocles were writing dramatic masterpieces that must have been the culmination of centuries of patient trial and error by long-forgotten journeymen play wrights. Fifty-four years ago (1943 speaking) the very first motion picture was put upon film. Forty years ago the first motion picture to tell a story, The Great Train Robbery, was re leased. Its producer, Edwin S. Porter, died on April 30, 1941, at the age Of seventy-one. David Wark Griffith, the great pioneer of the pictures, was sixty-three years of age in 1943. Now go back twenty-four centuries. Compare the prog ress of the drama since the days of Sophocles with the progress of the motion picture in the half century of its existence.

Download or read book Cinema Treasures written by Ross Melnick and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2004 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 100 years after the first movie delighted audiences, movie theaters remain the last great community centers and one of the few amusements any family can afford. While countless books have been devoted to films and their stars, none have attempted a truly definitive history of those magical venues that have transported moviegoers since the beginning of the last century. In this stunningly illustrated book, film industry insiders Ross Melnick and Andreas Fuchs take readers from the nickelodeon to the megaplex and show how changes in moviemaking and political, social, and technological forces (e.g., war, depression, the baby boom, the VCR) have influenced the way we see movies.Archival photographs from archives like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and movie theater ephemera (postcards, period ads, matchbooks, and even a "barf bag") sourced from private collections complement Melnick's informative and engaging history. Also included throughout the book are Fuchs' profiles detailing 25 classic movie theaters that have been restored and renovated and which continue to operate today. Each of these two-page spreads is illustrated with marvelous modern photographs, many taken by top architectural photographers. The result is a fabulous look at one way in which Americans continue to come together as a nation. A timeline throughout places the developments described in a broader historical context."We've had a number of beautiful books about the great movie palaces, and even some individual volumes that pay tribute to surviving theaters around the country. This is the first book I can recall that focuses on the survivors, from coast to coast, and puts them into historical context. Sumptuously produced in an oversized format, on heavy coated paper stock, this beautiful book offers a lively history of movie theaters in America , an impressive array of photos and memorabilia, and a heartening survey of the landmarks in our midst, from the majestic Fox Tucson Theatre in Tucson, Arizona to the charming jewel-box that is the Avon in Stamford, Connecticut. I don't know why, but I never tire of gazing at black & white photos of marquees from the past; they evoke the era of moviemaking (and moviegoing) I care about the most, and this book is packed with them. Cinema Treasures is indeed a treasure, and a perfect gift item for the holiday season. - Leonard Maltin"Humble or grandiose, stand-alone or strung together, movie theaters are places where dreams are born. Once upon a time, they were treated with the respect they deserve. In their heyday, historian Ross Melnick and exhibitor Andreas Fuchs write in Cinema Treasures, openings of new motion-picture pleasure palaces that would have dazzled Kubla Khan 'received enormous attention in newspapers around the country. On top of the publicity they generated, their debuts were treated like the gala openings of new operas or exhibits, with critics weighing in on everything from the interior and exterior design to the orchestra.' Handsomely produced and extensively illustrated, Cinema Treasures is detailed without being dull and thoroughly at home with this often neglected subject matter. Its title would have you believe it is a celebration of the golden age of movie theaters. But this book is something completely different: an examination of the history of movie exhibition, which the authors accurately call 'a vastly under-researched topic.'" - Los Angeles Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A must have for any film nut.”—Details Peter Bogdanovich, award-winning director, screenwriter, actor and critic, interviews 16 legendary directors over a 15-year period. Their richly illuminating conversations combine to make this a riveting chronicle of Hollywood and picture making. Join him in conversations with: Robert Aldrich • George Cukor • Allan Dwan • Howard Hanks • Alfred Hitchcock • Chuck Jones • Fritz Lang • Joseph H. Lewis • Sidney Lumet • Leo McCarey • Otto Preminger • Don Siegel • Josef von Sternberg • Frank Tashlin • Edgar G. Ulmer • Raoul Walsh NOTE: This edition does not include photographs. Praise for Who the Devil Made It “Illuminating . . . These were (and sometimes are: a few yet breathe) men rooted in history as much as in Hollywood. Their collected memories make the past look fearfully rich beside a present that is poverty-stricken in everything except money.”—The New Yorker “Bogdanovich is one of America’s finest writers on the cinema. . . . Thank goodness [his] Who the Devil Made It has come along to remind us that films and writing about film were, at one time, focused on the work and not strictly on the bottom line.”—The Boston Globe “A treasure trove on the craft of directing.”—Newsday “Monumental . . . The directors’ reminiscences about technique, working methods, sources of ideas, and relationships with actors and studios are thoroughly entertaining.”—Publishers Weekly “A fine achievement that helps illuminate the art and craft of some remarkable directors . . . There are plenty of revealing anecdotes.”—Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Children and Movies Classic Reprint written by Alice Miller Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children and Movies It is difficult to appreciate the fact that in 1900 movies were commercially unknown. To attempt to recreate in the imagination a world in which there are no motion-picture "palaces" is almost as difficult as to recreate the existence of the people of the old Stone Age. The movies are everywhere: in the city and the country, in the Orient and the Occident, in the two hemispheres. Some say they are too much with us; but collectively we seem to find them almost as essential and certainly as ubiquitous as the newspaper or the milkman. One hundred million Americans are supposed to have attended the movies in 1928. This mass movement has something of the portent of an irresistible tide welling up and over and into the dark caverns and galleries of a rocky ocean shore, receding only to renew the surge again and again. But with this difference: each human unit of this vast movie tide is swept out from the dark cavern just a little different than when it was swept in. All America, indeed all the modern world, is thus ceaselessly played upon by the ebb and flow of sight and sound. No one can fail to be deeply impressed by the immense power of this new Warwick in the modern state, helping to form and mold and strengthen the interests, opinions, and ambitions of the voting masses.
