Book Description

Focusing on a wide range of celebrated and less well known films and offering an introductory discussion of film sound, Robert Miklitsch mobilizes the notion of audiovisuality to investigate period sound technologies such as the radio and jukebox. American music such as "hot" black jazz and "big numbers" featuring iconic performers such as Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, and Rita Hayworth.
