Summary: Barnouw traces the documentary from its beginning at the dawn of film history - the work of the Lumiere brothers - to the remarkable group of films that have portrayed the Vietnam war. Films are placed within their broader social perspective, and Barnouw traces filmmaking developments in a single country to global uptake. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of governments and large corporations on the content of films. The book covers television documentary, direct cinema, cinema verite as well as film-makers dealing with exploration, animals, aspects of war, human behaviour, social problems and propaganda. Such diverse film-makers as Flaherty, Vertov, Grierson, Ivens, Lorentz, Jennings, Sucksdorff, Rouch, Leacock, and the Maysles are included.

Summary: "THE NAME ABOVE THE TITLE provides a star vehicle for one of the few really great men of moviedom. The history of Hollywood and the story of Frank Capra's forty-year career there run parallel: the rise of the motion picture from Mack Sennett's Keystone Klown Kollege through the triumphant years of the best and most loved movies ever made - many of them with Capra's name above the title."
