Do not stumble through the classics

I would trip over my own feet if someone did not point them out to me. Moreover, this book does the same thing for people interested in classic movies. Now days there are goody tracks on DVDs to fill you in on backgrounds and particulars. However sometimes it is easer to see this information in print. This book covers: Introduction - Toward a theory of film history Griffith - Intolerance Wiene, Mayer, Janowitz - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Eisenstein - Potemkin Chaplin - The Gold Rush Dreyer - The Passion of Joan of Arc Hitchcock - Vertigo Antonioni - The Red Desert Buñuel - Belle de Jour Fellini - Styricon Appendix - filmographies and selected bibliographies
