5.0 out of 5 stars Not a film history but a book about DOING film history, January 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Film History: Theory and Practice (Paperback)
This is a great book, especially helpful if you are trying to learn how do do historical research. The author, himself a well-respected film historian, reviews several established formats (eg. economic history, social history, technological history) then offers a guide for those trying to do this sort of work. Especially useful for the film instructor or graduate student.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional clarity, February 6, 2006
By 
This review is from: Film History: Theory and Practice (Paperback)
If for no other reason than that this book on film avoids the academic jargon that blurs other theoritcal books, it is a pleasure to read. It is worth the price just for the relevant details that it presents, clearl land precisely. A very good standard film history.
