Book Synopsis The Many Cinemas of Michael Curtiz by : R. Barton Palmer
Download or read book The Many Cinemas of Michael Curtiz written by R. Barton Palmer and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood—Casablanca , Yankee Doodle Dandy , The Sea Hawk , White Christmas, and Mildred Pierce, to name only a few. The most prolific and consistently successful Hollywood generalist with an all-embracing interest in different forms of narrative and spectacle, Curtiz made around a hundred films in an astonishing range of genres: action, biopics, melodramas/film noir, musicals, and westerns. But his important contributions to the history of American film have been overlooked because his broadly varied oeuvre does not present the unified vision of filmmaking that canonical criticism demands for the category of “auteur.” Exploring his films and artistic practice from a variety of angles, including politics, gender, and genre, The Many Cinemas of Michael Curtiz sheds new light on this underappreciated cinematic genius. Leading film studies scholars offer fresh appraisals of many of Curtiz’s most popular films, while also paying attention to neglected releases of substantial historical interest, such as Noah’s Ark , Night and Day, Virginia City, Black Fury, Mystery of the Wax Museum, and Female. Because Curtiz worked for so long and in so many genres, this analysis of his work becomes more than an author study of a notable director. Instead, The Many Cinemas of Michael Curtiz effectively adds a major chapter to the history of Hollywood’s studio era, including its internationalism and the significant contributions of European émigrés.

Book Synopsis Postmodern Pirates by : Susanne Zhanial
Download or read book Postmodern Pirates written by Susanne Zhanial and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodern Pirates offers a comprehensive analysis of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean series and the pirate motif through the lens of postmodern theories. Susanne Zhanial shows how the postmodern elements determine the movies’ aesthetics, narratives, and character portrayals, but also places the movies within Hollywood’s contemporary blockbuster machinery. The book then offers a diachronic analysis of the pirate motif in British literature and Hollywood movies. It aims to explain our ongoing fascination with the maritime outlaw, focuses on how a text’s cultural background influences the pirate’s portrayal, and pays special attention to the aspect of gender. Through the intertextual references in Pirates of the Caribbean, the motif’s development is always tied to Disney’s postmodern movie series.

Book Synopsis The Last of the Great Swashbucklers by : Jesse F. Knight
Download or read book The Last of the Great Swashbucklers written by Jesse F. Knight and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography and comprehensive bibliography of Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) and his works is being presented for the first time anywhere. Sabatini is one of the most prolific and widely read novelists who specialized in making history live again through his fictional characterizations. He had a unique ability to use history as a background for fiction. Sabatini, half Italian but living and writing in England, was the master of romantic historical novels and has rightly been called by Jesse Knight The Last of the Great Swashbucklers. He was so immersed in his writing of historical fiction that he often referred to himself as a man out of his own time. Not only did he write interesting and well-told stories of romance and adventure, but the movies that followed were just as popular has his books. Sabatini's three most popular swashbuckling stories, still being read today, are Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, and Scaramouche, and each was made into at least two movies. No author has better captured the imagination of so many with fiction filled with intrigues, escapes, romantic loves, devilish plots, and sword play.This new book includes a twenty-six page biography of the life of Sabatini written by the late Jesse F. Knight, who was the foremost expert in the world on his life and works. It also contains a bibliography of the first US and UK editions, as well as other significant editions, of all forty-seven of his books, prepared by Stephen Darley. The bibliography identifies all of the short story collections that have been published either in the US, the UK, or both. The bibliography also describes the dust jackets, with color photos of many of them, which are important to collectors and sellers. Book collectors and those who love Sabatinis fiction will find this book an invaluable guide to determine the accuracy of first edition offerings, to understand what dust jackets are available, or to develop a library of Sabatini novels.
