Item description from seller

Hardcover, with dust jacket. 136 pages. Text in English. Clean copy with light signs of use to the dust jacket, the book itself nearly as new. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over decorative paper covered boards. This volume consists of two essays on the development of the Soviet Cinema from the days of what are now called the silent classics - S. M. Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin," V. I. Pudovkin's "The Mother," and earlier films - down to the present-day productions (1948). The first section dealing with the silent film, has been written by Thorold Dickinson, himself a distinguished director of British films, including "Next of Kin," "The Prime Minister," and "Gaslight." Before WWII he visited Russia to study developments there for the British Association of Cine Technicians, and was later Member of the London Film Society, which has been responsible for bringing many Russian films to Britain for private exhibition. The second section deals with the development of the sound film in Russia. Catherine de la Roche, the author, is of Russian origin, speaks the language fluently, and has been for some time film critic to the only British journal published in the Soviet Union, "British Ally." During WWII she was Films Officer to the Soviet Relation Division of the Ministry of Information. This work is profusely illustrated throughout with forty-eight pages of b&w stills from various motion pictures, such as: "Battleship Potemkin," "The Mother," "End of St. Petersburg," "Arsenal," "Turksib," "The Ghost That Never Returns," "October," "The General Line," "Fragment of an Empire," "Earth," The Road to Life," "Deserter," "Storm," "Lenin in October," "Lenin in 1918," "Great Citizen," "The Childhood of Maxim Gorki," "Peter the Great," "Alexander Nevsky," "General Suvorov," "The Defence of Tsaritzin," "Ivan the Terrible," "Unconquered," etc. 777g.…
