{"product_id":"silent-films-last-hurrah-david-meuel-9781476668956","title":"Silent Film's Last Hurrah: The Remarkable Movies of the Long 1928","description":"\u003cp\u003e This is a history and critical appreciation of an unusually fertile period for the production of great or near-great silent films: late 1927 through early 1929, in the midst of the tumult and upheaval of Hollywood's transition from silent to sound. The book offers in-depth looks at several of the best of these films and discusses the gifted artists such as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Lillian Gish who helped bring them to life, even as the art they had taken to remarkable heights was about to be obliterated. It depicts some of the silent medium's most talented filmmakers and their efforts--in the face of inescapable technological change--to give their dying art a rousing last hurrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Meuel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476668957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476668956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.83w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/12\/2023 pg. 1","brand":"David Meuel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071121846527,"sku":"9781476668956","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5221a41-fb9f-4456-ae9f-7250d4cd201d.jpg?v=1685434277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silent-films-last-hurrah-david-meuel-9781476668956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
