Praised as the "best modern survey of the silent period" (New Republic), this indispensable history tells you everything you need to know about American silent film, from the nickelodeons in the early 1900s to the birth of the first "talkies" in the late 1920s. The author provides vivid descriptions of classic pictures such as The Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, Sunrise, The Covered Wagon, and Greed, and lucidly discusses their technical and artistic merits and weaknesses. He pays tribute to acknowledged masters like D. W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and Lillian and Dorothy Gish, but he also gives ample attention to previously neglected yet equally gifted actors and directors. In addition, the book covers individual genres, such as the comedy, western gangster, and spectacle, and explores such essential but little-understood subjects as art direction, production design, lighting and camera techniques, and the art of the subtitle. Intended for all scholars, students, and lovers of film, this fascinating book, which features over 150 film stills, provides a rich and comprehensive overview of this unforgettable era in film history.Binding Type: Paperback

Great value dress shoes with nice detailing
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I bought these black dress shoes for an occasional formal wear, and overall I’m quite pleased with them for the price.
Fit & Comfort: The size is accurate (true to size for me). They fit well right out of the box with no major break-in period needed. The pointed toe is a bit more tapered/narrow than I usually prefer, but it’s stylish and not uncomfortably tight. The main downside is the thin padding/insoles — they’re a little firm underfoot. However, this is an easy fix; I’ve already swapped them for better aftermarket insoles and the comfort improved significantly.
Quality & Appearance: The quality is solid for the money. The faux leather has a nice shine, and the crocodile-embossed pattern on the toe cap and sides looks sharp and premium in person (see my photos). Stitching is clean, the sole has decent tread for a dress shoe, and they feel sturdy. No loose threads or cheap-feeling construction. They’ve held up well so far after several wears.
Value: Excellent bang for the buck. They look much more expensive than they cost and are a solid choice if you’re looking for stylish dress shoes without spending a fortune.
Would recommend, especially if you plan to add your own insoles. Perfect for office, weddings, or events where you want to look polished.
