This book studies what makes musical stars so specific from the 1930s on: their performances, especially solo, which also reveal how film musicals tackle highbrow and popular culture. Acts by Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Rita Hayworth, Barbra Streisand, Carmen Miranda, Eleanor Powell, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Eddie Cantor, Doris Day and the Nicholas Brothers are analyzed according to four main issues: the role of technology in cinema-made performances (editing, dubbing...); ethnicity issues and the distinctive place that the musical genre granted - or not - to "non-white" artists; the importance of stars specialized in comedy who developed a carnivalesque dimension in films; and the process of star construction itself within the Hollywood system, in relation to other forms of performance or cultural industries.DancebicsscFilm, TV & radiobicsscFilms, cinemabicssccinemadancemusicalDanceFilm, TV & radioFilms, cinemaBOOK9910743285203321Star Turns in Hollywood Musicals3560368UNINA01238nam1 22003013i 450 VAN0010453220251009123151.53620160118d1937 |0itac50 baengIT|||| |||||MachiavelliLord ByronT.
