[nice clean copy, with just a touch of wear along the spine, short diagonal bend at lower rear corner, affecting the last several pages]. (B&W photographs) This was the magazine's "Special Book Issue," featuring a 25-page "inexhaustive survey" that reviews about twenty books, notably: Richard Corliss's groundbreaking "Talking Pictures: Screenwriters in the American Cinema"; "Visionary Film: the American Avant Garde," by P. Adams Sitney; "Documentary: A History of the Non-Fiction Film," by Erik Barnouw; "Film as a Subverive Art," by Amos Vogel; and two books related to Graham Greene, one a collection of his film criticism, the other an examination of films based on his works. Also in this issue are these feature articles: "John Ford: A Reassessment," by Michael Dempsey; "Retreat from Romanticism: Two Films from the Seventies," by George Lellis (about Alain Tanner's RETOUR D'AFRIQUE and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's THE MERCHANT OF FOUR SEASONS); and "The Tyranny of Convention in THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY," by Marsha Kinder. There is an interview with Michelangelo Antonioni, primarily about his filming in China. Film reviews: THE PASSENGER (Antonioni); SHAMPOO (Hal Ashby); QUARRY (a short documentary by Richard Rogers).
