About the Item

American Cinema: One Hundred Years of Filmmaking by Jeanine Basinger. Rizzoli International Publications, NY, 1994. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. "This book was published to commemorate the centennial celebration of the birth of American film and a 10-part television series that aired on the 320 PBS stations beginning in 1995, surveyed the phenomenon that is Hollywood, past and present. The movies, like no other art form, are deeply embedded in the American psyche. They are our heritage and our entertainment. In a text as epic in scope as its subject, and drawing on exclusive interviews with actors and filmmakers conducted specifically for the American Cinema project, author Jeanine Basinger presents the evolution of the Hollywood saga, from its early roots in rural California to an industry that has adapted to and thrived during such metamorphoses as the advent of sound, the "threat" of foreign films and of television, and even the age of the conglomerate. Basinger examines in depth the language of film - focusing on the nature of the art form during the "golden age" as well as in the age of television - and its power, in Hollywood's skilled hands, to keep you in your seat and forever coming back for more. With more than 300 illustrations from the world's leading film archives, including some never before published, this book celebrated the best of American films, from the glamorous defining films of Hollywood in such favorite genres as the screwball comedy and the western to today's blockbusters and film-school generation of directors, Scorsese, Spielberg, DePalma, Lucas, and Coppola. Also included are the new filmmakers redefining the Hollywood film today."
