Hardback. Condition: Good. In this study, Professor Carney provides a fresh analysis of the career and work of film director Frank Capra. There are few filmgoers who have not seen or been moved by one of the thirty-six feature films directed by Frank Capra between 1926 and 1961, among them are It's a Wonderful Life, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Meet John Doe, Lost Horizon, It Happened One Night, Mr Deeds Goes to Town, and Pocketful of Miracles. Critics, however, have often dismissed the director as sentimental, or patronised his populist tendencies. Professor Carney locates the director's oeuvre within a larger tradition of post-Romantic expression, placing him in the company of figures such as Hawthorne, Emerson, James, Winslow, Homer, Sargent and Edward Hopper. His vast knowledge of Capra's biography, the intricacies of the Hollywood studio system, film-making techniques, and the American cultural heritage has produced a study that moves beyond the boundaries of film scholarship. The detailed readings of individual films are presented within a broad cultural context and the context of Capra's own development. Thus, the book is as much an exploration of the American imagination as it is a study of a single director's work.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Shadows (1959), John Cassavetes' first film as director, ends with the title card - 'The film you have just seen was an improvisation'. Just before his death, however, Cassavetes confessed to Ray Carney something he had never before revealed - that much of his so-called 'masterpiece of improvisation' was actually written by him and Robert Alan Aurthur, a professional Hollywood screenwriter.In the ten years that followed Carney tracked down all of the surviving members of the cast and crew in order to piece together the true story of the making of Shadows. This book is the result of that research. Carney takes the reader behind the scenes to follow every step in the creation of the film - chronicling the hopes and dreams, the struggles and frustrations, and the ultimate triumph of their collaboration on one of the seminal masterworks of American independent film-making.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is the 1986 Penguin Books paperback reprint of "Mont Saint Michel and Chartres" by Henry Adams. It is likely the most famous book about the island of St Michel, which is home to one of the most remarkable cathedrals in the world. Combined with his description of Chartres Cathedral, this book is a thorough and remarkable engagement on the part of the author. Readers can only thank Henry Adams for his effort. It is a book for eternity. Here is the book's write-up, from the back cover : "This book is a record not of a literal journey, but of a meditative journey across time and space into the medieval imagination. Using the architecture, sculpture, and stained glass of the two locales as a starting point, Adams breathes life into what other might see merely as monuments of a past civilization. With daring and inventive conceits, Adams looks at the ordinary people, places, and events in the context of social conventions and systems of thought and belief of the thirteenth century, turning the study of history into a kind of theatre."
