Here is a N.Y. Times review of a volume concerning the origins and future of silent film. It was said that the author was quite good at recalling the genesis of the medium – and he was all wet about its future (silent films would dry up six years later, in 1929). Writing a century later, one Amazon reviewer wrote:
“This book is a must-read for cinephiles and literary enthusiasts alike, offering a compelling insight into the art of adaptation. Van Zile’s expertise and passion breathe life into the text, making complex theories accessible and enjoyable. Readers seeking to deepen their understanding of the cinematic landscape will find in this work a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration.”
