The fantastic films of George Pal have excited and thrilled millions of moviegoers. Motion pictures such as Destination Moon, The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm prove that George Pal ranks among the undisputed masters of cinematic fantasy adventure. At last, here is a book about the legendary producer/director - fully illustrated with more than 250 photographs, many printed here for the first rime, and richly supplemented with insightful commentary by Pal himself, as well as by many of his talented coworkers. Author Gail Morgan Hickman traces Pal's career from his childhood in Hungary, through his early struggles as a puppet filmmaker during the difficult years of pre-World War II Europe, to his present position as one of Hollywood's best-known and most distinguished motion-picture makers. This beautifully produced volume describes in a lucid style how these cinematic classics came to be made. Each of Pal's fourteen feature films is discussed individually. Beginning with the inspiration, then into the planning and the production, the reader is taken behind the scenes of such renowned motion pictures as When Worlds Collide, Tom Thumb, 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, and many, many more. Special attention is given to the invention and development of Pal's Puppetoons - "color cartoons in three dimensions." In addition, revealed here are many of the fascinating techniques employed by Pal and his fellow craftsmen to achieve the stunning visual effects that have garnered six Oscars and numerous other awards. In the motion picture industry of Hollywood, George Pal has carved a place of permanent eminence. Rich in anecdote, here is his story - the man, the dreamer, and the inspired filmmaker. The Films of George Pal is an engrossing study of the way in which fantasy is created, ideal for anyone interested in the art of motion pictures. All orders shipped protected in a box. There are some small tears to the top and bottom of the dust jacket. This is a large book and will require extra postage.…
