CHASE! A Tribute to the Keystone Cop (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

There have been many worthy books on the Keystone Film Company, Mack Sennett, and Mabel Normand-not to mention the countless volumes on Charlie Chaplin. But, despite their ongoing popularity, there has never been a full-length book devoted solely to the Keystone Cops.At least, not until now.A dozen or so film historians have come together to document and assess those clumsy constabularies. Containing insights into the Cops' place in cinema history, as well as fifty-six individual biographies, three hundred rare photographs, and a newly compiled filmography, Chase! is the ultimate tribute to the world's most comically inept police force. "An engaging, enlightening, and informative collection of essays by some of the most knowledgeable silent comedy experts around today, thanks to silent film historian Lon Davis. In addition, Lon and Keystone historian and author Brent Walker have provided a comprehensive listing of all the Sennett-produced Keystone Cops films. An essential addition to any silent film fan's library."- SilentsAreGolden.com
