Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine dj. First Edition. [nice copy, only blemish to book is a faint stain on the bottom edge of the text block (the sort of thing you'd never have noticed if I hadn't pointed it out); the jacket shows just a touch of handling wear]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) A different sort of movie-studio history, focusing not on the corporate history or even the films as such, but specifically "an illustrated history of the soundstages and outdoor sets where Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced many of the world's most famous films." A delight to browse through, the book makes the point vividly that the old Hollywood studios -- and M-G-M was the grandest of them all -- were virtually self-contained cities. It contains hundreds of photos of the major (and minor) buildings on the lot, shots of the standing sets (both in use and, occasionally, in forlorn and even derelict condition), interiors of departments, maps of the lot, etc. -- and while there are plenty of "production" shots (and glimpses of numerous movie stars), there's nary a "movie still" to be found. The emphasis throughout is very much on the physical plant, and on any given page you're much more likely to find yourself looking at a shot of the inside of the film laboratory, or the barber shop/newsstand, than of actors or actresses at work. Especially interesting is the appendix, "Films Shot on the Backlot," which lists hundred of films, categorized by the sets or streets utilized in their production -- "Small Town Railroad Depot," 47 productions; "Copperfield Street," 10 productions; "Esther Williams Pool," 40 productions; etc. Honestly, this book is SO much more interesting than those coffee-table studio histories ("The MGM Story," "The Paramount Story," etc.), which mostly consist of a long paragraph about each film and a (usually) tiny and uninteresting still. ***NOTE: Additional shipping charges for this heavy book may apply for non-U.S. customers, or for Priority Mail shipping within the U.S.; if this causes you concern, please inquire before placing your order.***.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 736 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Here it is: the first-time look at the remarkable American multinational mass media empire and its century of entertainment-the story of Twentieth Century Fox (1915-2015). The controversies and scandals are here, as are the extraordinary achievements. Among other firsts, the book offers fun tours of its historic production and ranch facilities including never-before-told stories about its stars and creative personalities. The authors primarily tell a celebratory tale, but most importantly, an accurate one.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine dj. First Edition. [nice as-new copy, with no discernible blemishes to either book or jacket]. (B&W and color photographs, facsimiles) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by co-author Thompson on the ffep. Along the lines of an earlier Troyan/Sylvester collaboration on the history of M-G-M, this weighty tome presents the history of the eponymous studio as a sort of expanded-to-the-max tour of the its physical facilities -- lot by lot, building by building, street by street. The corporate and production history included is serviceable enough, but the main attraction is the wealth of visual and descriptive data offered up about the physical plant -- or I should say plants, since before the West L.A. studio (which still exists today) was established, the Fox Film Corporation's first West Coast presence was at a now long-gone studio at the corner of Western and Sunset Boulevards in Hollywood, which is also well covered. The book is a terrific browse, and vividly makes the point (as did the M-G-M volume) that the old Hollywood studios -- the "majors," at least -- were virtually self-contained cities. The book, drawing on the studio's own archives, presents hundreds of then-and-now photos of the structures on the lot, the standing sets, interiors of departments, maps, etc. -- and while there are plenty of "in production" shots, there are very few "movie stills" as such, as the authors are determined to keep the focus on the physical facilities more than on the movies that were made there. Appendixes include: extensive lists of which individual films were shot in which stages or on which sets or streets, for both studio locations; a chronological "studio filmography," with titles and release years only (about 45 pages of filler, frankly, and of little practical use); and a full name and film title index to the text. A book like this (in my opinion) is much more interesting than those coffee-table studio histories ("The MGM Story," "The Paramount Story," etc.); I wish there was one for every studio. **** NOTE that additional shipping charges will be requested for international shipping of this heavy book, or for Priority Mail shipping to U.S. destinations.
