Warner Bros: The Making of an American Movie Studio
Behind the scenes at the legendary Warner Brothers film studio, where four immigrant brothers transformed themselves into the moguls and masters of American fantasy
Warner Bros charts the rise of an unpromising film studio from its shaky beginnings in the early twentieth century through its ascent to the pinnacle of Hollywood influence and popularity. The Warner Brothers-Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack-arrived in America as unschooled Jewish immigrants, yet they founded a studio that became the smartest, toughest, and most radical in all of Hollywood.
David Thomson provides fascinating and original interpretations of Warner Brothers pictures from the pioneering talkie The Jazz Singer through black-and-white musicals, gangster movies, and such dramatic romances as Casablanca, East of Eden, and Bonnie and Clyde. He recounts the storied exploits of the studio's larger-than-life stars, among them Al Jolson, James Cagney, Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Doris Day, and Bugs Bunny. The Warner brothers' cultural impact was so profound, Thomson writes, that their studio became "one of the enterprises that helped us see there might be an American dream out there."

MOROCCO 1:1 170 000
To my mind, this is one of the most interesting and touristic countries in the world, Morocco has fabulous ocean beaches, interesting historic cities, and dauntingly beautiful mountain regions, as well as the desert-like south. This highly recommended map also comes with a inset map of Sale/Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech and Casablanca.

By the author of "The Name of the Rose", these essays, written over the last 20 years and culled from newspapers and magazines, explore the rag-bag of modern consciousness. Eco considers a wide range of topics, from "Superman" and "Casablanca", Federico Fellini and Michelangelo Antonioni, Jim Jones and mass suicide, and Woody Allen, to holography and waxworks, pop festivals and football, and not least the social and personal implications of tight jeans.

52 kultfilm - A Szárnyas fejvadásztól a Feltörő színekig
"A Casablanca nem egy film, hanem filmek" - írja Umberto Eco, és ugyanez áll a kötetben bemutatott többi kultuszfilmre is. De mi az, hogy kultfilm? Nehéz a kérdésre egzakt választ adni, hiszen a címke nem a filmek valamely "sajátnak" tételezett tulajdonságára, hanem inkább az utóéletére utal - olyan alkotásokéra, amelyeknek viszonylag szűk, de elkötelezett rajongótáboruk van, és amelyek mindig más és más oldalukat mutatják meg attól függően, hogy hol, mikor és kivel nézzük őket, milyen filmes előképeink vannak, vagy éppenséggel a rendelkezésünkre áll-e olyan útmutató, amely friss szempontokat kínál a befogadáshoz. Lichter Péter kalauza épp ilyen: a Prizma folyóirat munkatársának személyes hangvételű esszékötete komoly filmes szaktudást felvonultató, mégis pörgős, lebilincselő olvasmány, amelyből megtudhatjuk például, hogyan forradalmasította Stanley Kubrick a filmzene-használatot, milyen törvényi változások tették lehetővé a függetlenfilmesek elindulását, hogyan befolyásolta az ötvenes-hatvanas évek tinédzsergenerációja, vagy éppen a nyolcvanas évek videokazetta-forradalma a filmes zsánerek alakulását, vagy hogy mire véljük, ha már épp bekészítettük a popcornt, és akkor egyszer csak kiderül, hogy a sorozatgyilkosunk egy gumiabroncs."

Film posters of the 40s
Considering that the world was at war during the first half of the decade and much of it still in ruins during the second half, the 1940s were an extraordinary fertile period for the cinema. This was the heyday of directors such as Orson Wells (Citizen Kane, The Lady from Shanghai and The Third Man), Alfred Hitchcock (Notorious, Rope, Spellbound and Suspicion), Powell and Pressberger (Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes) and Jean Cocteau (La Belle et la Bete, Orphee), and of stars like Rita Hayworth, Ingrid Bergman, Betty Grable, Laurence Olivier, Clark Gable, Robert Mitchum and, of course, the incomparable Bogart and Bacall. Most lists of all-time favourites will include a host of 40s movies such as Casablanca and Brief Encounter. Surprisingly, perhaps, the decade produced relatively few memorable war films, though Twelve O'Clock High and the March of Time documentary series are notable exceptions. Indeed the setting that most characteristic of the cinema of the 1940s is not the battlefield, but the dark alleys and mean streets of the noir genre, represented here by titles such as The Blue Dahlia, The Big Sleep, Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice and Gilda. Not only are these movies enduring classics, they also inspired some of the greatest poster art in the cinema's history and, as always in this series of books, it is fascinating to see how the subjects were treated by European and other poster artists as well as the American originals. In Europe, the age of postwar austerity saw the beginnings of Ealing's classic comedies with Kind Hearts and Coronets, two of Olivier's interpretations of Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet and Macbeth, and the revival of the French and Italian film industries with movies like Les Enfants du Paradis and Rome Open City. Add to this list a pot pourri of miscellaneous titles ranging from Abbott and Costello in Hollywood to Ziegfield Follies, and you have ten years' worth of movie posters quite as memorable and evocative as anything from previous volumes in this bestselling series.
