- catalog abstract "Here is a history of American film, from the birth of the talkies (beginning with The Jazz Singer and Al Jolson's memorable line "You ain't heard nothin' yet") to the decline of the studio system. By far the largest section of the book celebrates the great American film directors, with the work of giants such as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Howard Hawks examined film by film. Sarris also offers glowing portraits of major stars, from Garbo and Bogart to Ingrid Bergman, Margaret Sullavan, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hapburn, Clark Gable, and Carole Lombard. There is a tour of the studios - Metro, Paramount, RKO, Warner Brothers, 20th Century-Fox, Universal - revealing how each left its own particular stamp on film. And in perhaps the most interesting and original section, we are treated to an informative look at film genres - the musical, the screwball comedy, the horror picture, the gangster film, and the western.".
