Amazon.com

Andrew Sarris, the film critic who made the auteur theory of the French cineastes palatable to American sensibilities in The American Cinema and thereby taught generations of filmgoers to regard films as the creative products of directors rather than vehicles for stars, introduces "You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet" by writing, "The first lesson one learns almost immediately after undertaking to write a comprehensive and critically weighed history of the American film is that one can never finish; one can only stop." But Sarris has managed to extend his meandering journey through the first two decades of American sound film to quite some length; film fans and readers may only feel regret that it must come to an end.

This is not so much a sustained historical argument as a series of reflections, primarily rooted in Sarris's reminiscences of roughly seven decades of film viewing and reviewing. Addressing broad categories (genres, directors, and actors), he zooms in for extended consideration of particular subjects (the Astaire-Rogers musicals, John Ford, and Vivien Leigh, among many others), creating intimately detailed miniature portraits that provide such studiously loving descriptions of classic scenes they may make the reader wish to hole up with a copy of the book and a VCR after having secured the services of a video store that makes deliveries. There is even a short final chapter in which Sarris discusses such "guilty pleasures" as My Foolish Heart, the only film ever made based on a J.D. Salinger story.

People who know movies, or think they do, will no doubt find something about which to disagree with Sarris. This is as it should be; "You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet" is as much a commencement point as it is a summation.

Kurzbeschreibung

In a work which took 25 years to complete, the author provides a sweeping - and highly personal - 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. The largest section of the book celebrates the work of the great American film directors, with 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 Hepburn, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. There is a tour of the studios - Metro, Paramount, RKO, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox and Universal - revealing how each left its own particular stamp on film.

If you own only a handful of film books, this should be one of them. It has the authority of brilliance, as well as a personal touch that is completely winning. With movies, it all starts with falling in love. The critical response kicks in later, but love is at the beginning. Sarris, over the course of a long and distinguished career, has never forgotten his first love of film, and that comes across in his writing. The chapters on individual actors and directors will keep this book on your night table for months. There are passages that absolutely illuminate films and careers. I don't agree with everything in the book, but that's part of the pleasure of this book's company. I read it once, and now I'm re-reading it.

This book is a delight for anyone who loves the films of Hollywood's studio-driven "golden age" of the 1930s and 40s. Reading Sarris's (mostly) short essays is like being walked through a film storage vault by a knowledgeable, opinionated old tour guide who's seen every picture and seemingly met everyone who helped to make them. You may not always agree with his take on the pictures you know well, but he's always worth listening to. And you finish the tour ready to spend the next several weekends watching all the great movies that he's pointed out to you.

Sarris's treatments of individual directors are, by a long shot, the best part of the book. His essays on actors, mostly shorter and less comprehensive, are also well worth the reading. The observations on genres and studios seem sketchy by comparison, especially by comparison with books like Ethan Mordden's _Hollywood Studios_. The essays stand well on their own, which makes the book ideal for reading in essay-at-a-time chunks, but keeps it from being a comprehensive introduction to the period.

If you want to read one and only one book on classic Hollywood movies, this isn't it. If you want to read, several, this should certainly be one of them.

A Great Book For Film Buffs 28. Januar 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a comprehensive survey of the early years of the American sound film. You may not always agree with the author (I don't always) but he is always worth reading and is never dull. Sarris is excellent on all manner of film genres, stars, directors, etc. He is a key writer on John Ford and on Alfred Hitchcock, for example. You cannot often predict which way he will go and he does seem to have slightly modified his previous auteur (director is the author of the film) theories, derived from French critics- he acknowledges the influence of actors in some instances more than before. I love this book!
