N2  - "This smart, instructive book benefits from very real strengths--thorough research augmented by new interviews with filmmakers, precise writing accompanied by an appreciation for complexity--but perhaps most refreshing is its sense of fairness."--Publishers Weekly "A 'must read' for those who study, research, and write about the history of the motion picture."--Journal of Popular Film and Television "A timely attempt to open new dialogues about the ways historians present their work and reach wider audiences."
