Book Presentation:
Now a classic, The World in a Frame covers the history of popular American films from the 1930s to the 1970s. Leo Braudy, one of America’s leading film critics, gives an account of the histories of visual style and film genres, as well as techniques of characterization—all in an evolving cultural context.
