Based upon extensive reading of trade papers and the popular press of the day, Lea Jacobs documents the films and film genres that were considered old-fashioned, as well as those dubbed innovative and up-to-date, and looks closely at the works of filmmakers such as Erich von Stroheim, Charlie Chaplin, Ernst Lubitsch, and Monta Bell, among many others. Her analysis-focusing on the influence of literary naturalism on the cinema, the emergence of sophisticated comedy, and the progressive alteration of the male adventure story and the seduction plot-is a comprehensive account of the modernization of classical Hollywood film style and narrative form.ACLS Fellows’ publications.Motion picturesUnited StatesHistorySilent filmsUnited StatesHistory and criticismMelodrama in motion pictures20th century american film.american cinema.american film.charlie chaplin.comedy.erich von stroheim.ernst lubitsch.film genres.film history.film studies.film style.film.filmmakers.history.hollywood.jazz age.literary naturalism.male adventure story.modernization of classical hollywood.monta bell.movie history.movie studies.movies.narrative form.romantic drama.seduction plot.sentimental art.sentimental films.sophisticated film.trade papers.Motion picturesHistory.Silent filmsHistory and criticism.Melodrama in motion pictures.791.43/75Jacobs Lea165930MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809277203321The decline of sentiment3991388UNINA
