Twenty Four Frames Under: A Buried History of Film Music [Paperback]

Russell Lack (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Bushels of books come out every year on movie related material but the music of movies has been overlooked for the most part. Now comes Russell Lack to help correct the situation with a book that is as comprehensive on the subject as one could imagine...It is impossible to imagine anything that Lack has left out of his survey of the subject of musical soundtracks and it is equally impossible to imagine the material presented in a more organized and forthright way." -- Independent Publisher, Nov./Dec. 1999

4.0 out of 5 stars A FILM MUSIC BOOK?, September 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Twenty Four Frames Under: A Buried History of Film Music (Paperback)

There aren't too many good books about film scores. This one is the best. A film is not complete without the score and Russell Lack gives you the idea you need to understand that. No matter what you plan on doing with films, read this, it gives you a much clearer understanding. Remember that history is the cause of the future.
