It explores, for the first time in print, the creative symbiosis that developed between the two, including regular film versions of popular radio series as well as radio versions of hit films. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis fascinating volume, now available in paperback, examines specific genres (comedy and detective stories) to identify similarities and differences in their media appearances, and in particular issues arising from the nature of film as predominantly visual and radio as exclusively aural. Richards also highlights the interchange of personnel, such as Orson Welles, between the two media. Throughout the book runs the theme of comparison and contrast between the experiences of the two media in Britain and America. The book culminates with an in-depth analysis of the media appearances of three enduring mythic figures in popular culture: Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan and The Scarlet Pimpernel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStudents, scholars and lay enthusiasts of cinema history, cultural history and media studies will find this an accessible yet scholarly read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Richards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784991104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784991104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2016","brand":"Jeffrey Richards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190859297023,"sku":"9781784991104","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2b31ae6-3e4c-4caf-aa42-e76e5b106563.jpg?v=1690872763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinema-and-radio-in-britain-jeffrey-richards-9781784991104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
