A landmark in media studies, it is unique in its sophisticated understanding of both the art and technology of film." -- Molly Haskell For more information, to purchase, or order an examination copy, please click here <http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Communication/FilmTele visionStudies/?view=usa&ci=9780195321050> .
