Opis

Sarah Bernhardt, Her Films, Her Recordings (Foreword by Kevin Brownlow, Academy Award-winning film historian.) Sarah Bernhardt was called the world's greatest actress. She spoke on one of Edison's first recordings. She appeared in one of the first sound movies. She earned a place in motion picture history with her highly influential Queen Elizabeth, a film that started Adolph Zukor on the road to success with Famous Players, the company that became Paramount Pictures. Sarah's work in early films and recordings takes center stage in David W. Menefee's monumental research work, an incredible, stunning collection of information and images rediscovered in the world's foremost archives. The book includes detailed analyses of her films, hundreds of rare photographs, plot synopses, casts, contemporary reviews, production notes, the rediscovered lost and unknown film of the death scene from Daniel, and the first French/English translations of her recordings. In a revised and expanded version of the brilliant Sarah Bernhardt in the Theater of Films and Sound Recordings, Sarah Bernhardt's unforgettable story is retold during Paramount Pictures' 2012 Centennial celebration by esteemed Pulitzer nominee David W. Menefee. David W.
