Stapled wraps. Condition: Near Fine. Unstated edition. [light edgeworn, a few tiny horizontal stress lines along the spine]. (B&W photographs, graphics) An interesting 32-page publication (exclusive of covers) that seems to have been designed -- although no explicit statement to this effect is made -- as a kind of a guidebook for a Film Appreciation 101 course. There are brief (often just single-page) considerations of such topics as "Symbolism," "Point of View," "Movies and Cultures," "The Language of Faces," etc., and there's a four-page section at the end that presents quotes about the cinema from eminent critics and filmmakers. The underlying message that this publications seems to be pushing is "let's take movies seriously, shall we?" An artifact of an era during which there was very little film education going on in the United States, especially outside the major population centers.
