About This Item
New York and Washington, D.C.: Columbia University Press in association with the Library of Congress, 1996. xiv, 213 pages, [16] pages of plates, illustrations (some colour); 24 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Small erasure mark-rubbing/front free endpaper. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "One hundred years ago, the crude realism of early cinematic exercises caused shockwaves among audiences - some even panicked. On one occasion, read a news report from the time, an old lady in the audience, quite unable to suppress a scream, started up in her seat and tried to scramble out, knocking over others on her way. This sort of reaction was not uncommon - on a screen that might have featured nothing more than minute-long dips of a running horse or a moving train, what modern viewers might see as a pale shadow of the explosive, full-colour blockbusters of 1995." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo.
