Former vaudevillian Jessie Beckett has found work as a script girl—with a sideline in sleuthing—at Pickford-Fairbanks Studios, run by the silent film stars Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. When actress Ruby Glynn is wrongly convicted of murder, Pickford asks Jessie to help clear her friend’s name. But it won’t be easy. The victim was found stabbed in her bedroom with Ruby lying unconscious on the floor, holding a bloody knife. Jessie’s investigation sends her back through the Midwest vaudeville circuit, where she encounters old friends, new dangers, and her sometime-beau David seemingly involved in some shady dealings. Now it’ll take all her wits and ingenuity to find the killer without accidentally playing her own death scene. “With a well-developed and surprising plot twist, an appealing, resourceful amateur detective, and fascinating period details, this entertaining historical will delight fans of Old Hollywood.” —Library Journal

Download or read book The Freelancers written by Pierre GOBINET and published by Librinova. This book was released on 2016-09-19T00:00:00Z with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever dream of dropping it all to spend time doing what you love? Captain Nash Goepler certainly does. Only one thing on his mind: scuba. So in 2010 he ditches the grit and glory of a promising military career and swaps the uniform, routine and protocol for a dive mask, a pair of Speedos and a freelance scuba-instructor card. His boss, a former-spy, accepts but spells out the terms: Nash is to report for instructor training in Cannes. In a lush Mediterranean villa, he mingles with a quirky cast of divers and falls for Samar, an elusive Lebanese naiad with secretive ways and an opaque agenda. The woman is all curves and bad omen, leaving nothing in her wake but a trail of hot coincidences and cold cases. Samar mysteriously disappears after a last-minute, passionate fling with Nash, only to resurface three months later in El Gouna, Egypt—under a different identity. Nash dismisses the danger signs until he finds out—too late—that Samar is a freelancer too. Of the lethal kind. The Freelancers is a cinematic, hardboiled travel thriller that spins from the French Riviera to the sun-battered dive boat decks of pre-Arabian Spring El Gouna, Egypt. The novel is a first-person dive log that flows like an eighties’ MTV video clip and smells like a vintage neoprene wetsuit. Above all, The Freelancers is a declaration of love to scuba diving and to the Red Sea.

Download or read book The Many Faces of Weimar Cinema written by Christian Rogowski and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, Weimar cinema has been equated with the work of a handful of auteurist filmmakers and a limited number of canonical films. Often a single, limited phenomenon, "expressionist film," has been taken as synonymous with the cinema of the entire period. But in recent decades, such reductive assessments have been challenged by developments in film theory and archival research that highlight the tremendous richness and diversity of Weimar cinema. This widening of focus has brought attention to issues such as film as commodity; questions of technology and genre; transnational collaborations and national identity; effects of changes in socioeconomics and gender roles on film spectatorship; and connections between film and other arts and media. Such shifts have been accompanied by archival research that has made a cornucopia of new information available and augmented by the increased availability of films from the period on DVD. This wealth of new source material calls for a re-evaluation of Weimar cinema that considers the legacies of lesser-known directors and producers, popular genres, experiments of the artistic avant-garde, and nonfiction films, all of which are aspects attended to by the essays in this volume.
