The Studs Terkel Interviews: Film and Theater collects the Pulitzer Prize?winning oral historian's remarkable conversations with some of the greatest luminaries of film and theater. Originally published under the title The Spectator, this ?knowledgeable and perceptive" (Library Journal) look at show business presents the actors directors, playwrights, dancers, lyricists, and others who created the dramatic works of the twentieth century. Among the many highlights in these pages, Buster Keaton explains the wonders of unscripted silent comedy, Federico Fellini reflects on honesty in art, Carol Channing reveals that she is far more serious than she lets on, and Marlon Brando turns the tables and wants to interview Terkel. We learn about crucial artistic decisions in the lives of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, and Edward Albee and hear from a range of film directors, from Vittorio De Sica and King Vidor to Satyajit Ray. We even get to witness Terkel playing straight man to a wildly inventive Zero Mostel. Because Terkel knows his subjects' work intimately, he asks precisely the right questions to elicit the most revealing responses. As the New York Times Book Review noted, ?Terkel's knowledge and force of personality make him fully a player alongside his famous guests." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

Presents "The Cinema of Paolo And Vittorio Taviani: Nature, Culture, And history Revealed by Two Tuscan Masters". A portrait of Italian film craftsmen as geniuses. The single most thorough study and loving homage to the cinema of Vittorio and Paolo Taviani, the brothers who have worked together as co-filmmakers on some of the greatest films ever made of the 20th century. They have produced at least two full-fledged masterpieces, "Padre Padrone" ("My Father, My Master") and "La Notte di San Lorenzo" (known in the English-speaking world as "The Night of the Shooting Stars") , which have not only endured but prevailed in the sense that the Taviani Brothers' deliberate, rigorous, and austere post-Neo-Realism style (so "un-Italian", as some critics have noted, for their restraint and understated drama) remains the central style of all great European film-making instead of Fellini's more flamboyant, but genuinely great, film style. "Here is the complete oeuvre of two bashful, talented artisans, recognized as pioneers of a uniquely intense cinema. A selection of high-quality essays, brought together and complemented by some of the most beautiful images" (Publisher's blurb) . An absolute "must-have" title for Paolo and Vittorio Taviani collectors. This title is now collectible.
