[a very nice copy, minimal shelfwear, former owner's rubber-stamped signature on front endpaper; the jacket shows a tiny bit of wear at the spine ends and along the front hinge, and there's a minor horizontal wrinkle at the top edge of the front panel]. (B&W photographs) One of the earliest serious English-language studies of Minnelli's work, this book begins with two chapters tracing the history of the film musical and its established traditions prior to the time Minnelli began directing in the 1940s. The remainder of the book is an analysis of Minnelli's musical films -- not film-by-film, but rather thematically, under these subject headings: Drama; Enactment; Spectacle; Music; Dance; Achievement. Filmography, bibliography, index. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
