Reviews
"Meuel's latest book marks a specific, prolific time in silent-film history that signaled the end of an era as Hollywood transitioned to sound. This title covers films from the end of 1927 to early 1929. Each chapter details a silent-film star or director and a renowned film of theirs from that period.... Meuel analyzes what made these films special and provides details about the stars' personal lives and their other notable works.... Film-history fans will enjoy Meuel's contextualization of some of the greatest silent films and biggest actors.... Great for libraries with lots of movie buffs, especially fans of silent films and classics, and for institutions with film studies programs."-- Library Journal
