Book Reviews of Silent Films, 1877-1996: A Critical Guide to 646 Movies
Book Review: We needed more books from him . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
Sadly, Robert Klepper died in 2000, at the age of 32. A very nice fellow and an important film historian. Do pick up this worthwhile book, and mourn the fact that there will be no more from him.
Summary of Silent Films, 1877-1996: A Critical Guide to 646 Movies
This film reference covers 646 silent motion pictures, starting with Eadweard Muybridge?s initial motion photography experiments in 1877 and even including The Taxi Dancer (1996). Among the genres included are classics, dramas, Westerns, light comedies, documentaries and even poorly produced early pornography. Masterpieces such as Joan the Woman (1916), Intolerance (1916) and Faust (1926) can be found, as well as rare titles that have not received critical attention since their original releases.Each entry provides the most complete credits possible, a full description, critical commentary, and an evaluation of the film?s unique place in motion picture history. Birth dates, death dates, and other facts are provided for the directors and players where available, with a selection of photographs of those individuals. The work is thoroughly indexed.
