London England: Phoenix House, 1957. Hardback. Slight wear and a couple of small tears to D/J. If you are interested in films, in how they are made, in the people who make them and those who act in them, and in discovering just why it is that some films are so much better than others, we think you will enjoy this book. The authors invite you to see what goies on in the studios - how the producer, director, cameraman, scenarist, script writer and lighting experts, as well as the actors, work together to give you the finished picture. Here are explained what to look for in the 'big picture', in news-reels, documentaries, cartoons, interest and travel films, and examples of what the cinema can do, a list of voer 80 of the finest films that have been made. We think you will enjoy the descriptions of how Walt Disney's odd creatures come to life; of how the news-reel men work at great speed and often in very dangerous and difficult places; of how the rooms you see on the screen are planned down to the smallest detail; of what the movie camera sees and how the films are projected on to the screen; of how the editor cuts and joins the hundreds of strips of film to make the action wuick or slow, to heighten the comedy excitement or suspense. You will alos learn something of the ingenious mechanical devices used in making films, and of how the whole huge film industry works. Illustrated with Black and White plates. 160 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.). . 3rd Revised Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardback., Phoenix House, 1957, 2.75, Orion, Oct 2001. New edition. Paperback. In "A Darkness More than Night", Michael Connelly brings together in a clash of values Terry McCaleb, the semi-retired profiler of "Blood Work" and Harry Bosch, the burned-out LAPD veteran who most recently appeared in "Angels Flight". McCaleb is called in unofficially when someone hog-ties acquitted rapist and murderer Gunn and leaves him to strangle himself, and he soon finds everything from the way Gunn died to the plastic owl left watching the corpse pointing him solidly in one direction. Meanwhile Bosch is orchestrating a high-profile case against a Hollywood producer with a taste for strangling his mistresses and a security adviser whose dislike of Bosch goes back a very long way... This is an ingenious thriller which is also a powerful parable about justice and just how far it is possible to go in pursuit of it; Connelly is as intelligent about human motivation and the misunderstandings that destroy friendship as he is about forensics, art history and the mechanics of prosecution. By bringing together two series characters, he ensures that we care passionately about the outcome of his puzzle and his argument; we have a lot invested in who is right, and who is innocent. --"Roz Kaveney", Orion, 0, Paperback.
