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. 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSilent films$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMelodrama in motion pictures 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aSilent films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMelodrama in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/75 700 $aJacobs$b Lea$0165930 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454850503321 996 $aThe decline of sentiment$92380607 997 $aUNINA
