Summary: "Crime Scenes - Movie Poster Art of the Film Noir is the first book to trace the development and history of this intriguing movement by employing original movie poster art from over 100 vintage film noirs from the classic period of 1941 to 1959 including: The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor, This Gun for Hire with Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, Laura with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, and The Postman Always Rings Twice with Lana Turner and John Garfield. Originally displayed in movie theatres, these rare, ravishing and valuable posters and lobby cards also illustrate the signature in-house movie poster styles and printing processes utilized by the major studios and leading independents of the day. Academy Award-winning producer and director Robert Wise recalls his experiences as the RKO Radio Pictures contract director of such film noirs as Born to Kill (1947) and The Set Up (1949) in an informative foreword interview." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Adapted from his lectures to university post-graduate students, The Total Film-Maker is Jerry Lewis's frank, sometimes irreverent account, from the director's viewpoint, of the splendours and miseries of film-making. Replete with anecdotes and asides, the book details almost every aspect of the production of a motion picture, including the marshalling of actors and technicians, the preparation for filming itself, the cutting and editing processes, and the not always amicable transactions with distributors and would-be exploiters that follow the making of a film. The final section deals with the art of film comedy: how it is created, what makes it work, and who the great comedians are and why" -Book blurb
