Description: New York, New York, U.S.A. : Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., Date: 2007. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Film historian Jeanine Basinger gives us an immensely entertaining look into the "star machine," examining how at the height of the studio system, from the 1930s to the 1950s, the studios worked to manufacture star actors and actresses. With revelatory insights and delightful asides, she shows us how the machine worked_when_ it worked, how it failed when it didn't, and how irrelevant it could sometimes be. She gives us the "human factor," case studies focusing on big stars groomed into the system; the "awesomely beautiful" (and disillusioned) Tyrone Power; the seductive, disobedient Lana Turner; and a dazzling cast of others--Loretta Young, Errol Flynn, Irene Dunne, Deanna Durbin. She analyses their careers, showing how their fame happened and what happened to them as a result. (Both Lana Turner and Errol Flynn, for instance, were involved in notorious court cases.) Deeply engrossing, full of energy, wit, and wisdom, THE STAR MACHINE is an invaluable part of the film canon. With 221 black-and-white photographs. 586 pp, with Index. Mint, new, unread, first edition, first printing, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket. *Packed carefully and shipped in a box to insure arrival in pristine condition. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NF70 2007.
