Drawing on archival sources, this is the first book to explore Thalberg's insights into casting, editing, story composition and the importance of the mass audience from a theoretical perspective. It examines Thalberg's impact on film-historical turning points, such as the transition to sound cinema and the development of the Production Code, and features in-depth analyses of Thalberg's productions at MGM from 1924 to 1936, including films like \u003ci\u003eThe Big Parade\u003c\/i\u003e (1925), \u003ci\u003eThe Broadway Melody of 1929\u003c\/i\u003e (1929) and \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e (1936). The book argues that Thalberg's views represent a unified conceptual understanding of filmmaking - one that is still significant in the modern day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Salzberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474451055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474451055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Ana Salzberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059222900991,"sku":"9781474451055","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8527ca8e-39f7-4504-9b3f-aa955a7d581a.jpg?v=1685056938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/produced-by-irving-thalberg-ana-salzberg-9781474451055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
