About This Item
Washington DC: The American Film Institute. Very Good+. (c.1977). (Vol. II, No. 5). Magazine. [nice clean copy, modest wear along spine, very slight bumping to lower corners, soft vertical crease in upper section of front cover]. (B&W and color photographs) The cover story is "A Toast to Bette Davis!," keyed to that year's recipient of AFI's Life Achievement Award. Feature articles include: "John Frankenheimer: His Fall and Rise," about the then-former wunderkind director who was then undergoing what looked like a mid-career resurgence; "The Lost Legacy of Edward R. Murrow," about the diminished state of CBS-TV's news division post-Murrow (if only they knew what was ahead); "Nitrate Won't Wait," an article about the urgency of film preservation for silent films and early talkies; The Legacy of 'Masterpiece Theatre'" (the cover story); a speculative article about the potential for home viewing of newly-released movies; an article about director Don Siegel; "The RKO Years: Orson Welles and Howard Hughes" by Ron Haver (the conclusion of a 2-part article); "The Moyers Style," an article about Bill Moyers's work for "CBS Reports"; David Thomson's ruminations on how movie stars' images are affected by their (often phony) names. The "Dialogue on Film" is with actress Bibi Andersson, an Ingmar Bergman favorite. Column entries include Larry McMurtry's musings on novels (and films) about Hollywood, and writer Samson Raphaelson's experience as a teacher in the Film Division of Columbia University's School of the Arts. .
