My Son Divine
by Frances Milstead
Saving Private Ryan
by Steven Spielberg
Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore, Saving Private Ryan, a co-production of DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures, is a story of heroism and sacrifice set in France during and just after the D-Day invasion of World War II. Opening with the actual storming of the beach and continuing behind enemy lines, a squad of U.S. army soldiers put their lives in perilous danger to find one paratrooper. Private Ryan, played by Matt Damon, is the sole survivor of four brothers -- the other three having been killed during the invasion. Comprehending the tremendous sacrifice already made by this one mother, Washington issues an order to bring back her last surviving son... alive. As the squad, led by Tom Hanks, pushes deep into enemy territory, they find themselves questioning their mission: Is one man worth risking the lives of eight? With exquisite detail, the movie recreates the havoc and mayhem that was the storming of Normandy beach and all the action and realism is captured in these astounding photographs. In a large format, similar in size to the visual moviebooks on Evita and Titanic, Saving Private Ryan is presented in three parts: Part I: The Men. Stunning photos capture Spielberg's recreation of the action at Normandy beach, and are shown alongside the historical photos which inspired him. Text is drawn from the words of Churchill, Eisenhower, Bradley, from the letters of real soldiers, historical documents, manuals and maps as well as from the works of the acclaimed historian, Stephen Ambrose, who also served as consultant on the movie. Part II. The Mission. James' powerful studies of the squad of eight soldiers, led byTom Hanks, as they try and fulfill their mission arc accented by extracts drawn from the screenplay. Part III. The Movie. Behind-the-scenes photos of the film-makers at work -- in England at boot camp, on the beaches of Ireland -- are combined with interviews with Spielberg, actors Hanks, Burns, Sizemore, and others, screenwriter Robert Rodat, producer Ian Bryce, production designer Tom Sanders, and cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski (Schindler's List.)

D.W. Griffith: American Film Master (Qty: 3)
Barry
Brand new. D.W. Griffith, most famous for his controversial film Birth of a Nation, was one of the undisputed pioneers of the film industry. This illustrated monograph, first published in 1940, traces Griffith's rise from an obscure a actor-poet to the most imaginitive and resourceful film producer of his time. In this facsimile edition of a classic, Iris Barry gives a critical evaluation of the man under whose aegis the basic principles of the art of motion pictures were first fully developed. As Barry writes in the book's conclusion, ."..the men who make films today know who it was that taught them the basis of their craft. The American public, which for 45 years has so keenly enjoyed and supported the motion picture, has been somewhat relctuant to allow it the status of an art. Now, gradually, they too are recognizing that in Griffith they have one of the greatest and most original artists of our time. ( more information)
