THE PARADE'S GONE BY...Silent Film-KEVIN BROWNLOW-1st Edition, 2nd Print SUPERB!

Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a remarkable, classic survey of Silent Film and the individuals who made them written by KEVIN BROWNLOW--the book is a STATED FIRST EDITION and Second Printing 1970 Ballantine Books softcover copy. This book is in SUPERB condition and has very light dings on the spine and opening tips, a few slight creases on the lower right corner of the front surface and lower left corner of the back surface, a tiny crease on the lower right tip of a few of the book's last pages, a very slight ding on the upper right tip of the first few pages of the book, a tiny thumb tear on the upper right edge of the front surface, a few slight dings on the upper and lower edges of the front cover, a tiny stray mark on the lower center edge of the back surface and just very light shelfwear and very light evidence of gentle browsing otherwise and NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled The Parade's Gone By... and it was written by KEVIN BROWNLOW; it was published by Ballantine Books in April 1970 and is a STATED 1st EDITION and 2nd Printing copy.They speak in this book -- the pioneering directors (Henry King, Clarence Brown, William Wellman), the stars and producer-stars (Harold Lloyd, Mary Pickford, Geraldine Farrar, Gloria Swanson), the cameramen, the film editors, the creative giants of the silent screen who, flying by the seat of their pants, improvised their films on location, evolved -- indeed invented -- the techniques and concepts that we take for granted today. With frames and photographs you've never seen before, with pungently alive firsthand recollections, The Parade's Gone By... re-creates the earliest days of the movies, how the first moving pictures were actually shot, how the first film makers responded to the new medium untrammeled by rules and conventions -- and turned a crude, fumbling gimmick into art. A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
