The Silents Go to War: American World War I Propaganda Films, 1915-1930 by Anita

Description: The Silents Go to War by Anita R. Appelbaum Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book encourages the reader to travel back in time to experience the tumultuous era of silent First World War propaganda films that helped shape Americas opinion of the dreaded "Huns." Covering a range of pro-preparedness films versus pacifist films, "Horrible Hun" films, "Kill-the-Kaiser" films, outrageous comedies, thought-provoking war trauma films as well as patriotic documentaries, it documents Americas cinematic view of "the war to end all wars." While a number of articles have been published on First World War propaganda films, few books have featured a comprehensive view of these films, including synopsis, cast, back stories and critical reviews and notes. Here are unusual stories and outrageous plots featuring serpentine Germans (Erich von Stroheim throwing a baby out of a window in 1918s The Heart of Humanity), noble French girls sacrificing their honor for the allied cause (Clara Kimball Young in 1918s The Road Through the Dark), as well as outrageous comedies (1919s Yankee Doodle in Berlin featuring a cross-dressing American flyer seducing the Kaiser and his high command). Author Biography Anita R. Appelbaum is retired from the field of childrens opera (former Director and Founder of the Central Pennsylvania Youth Opera). She lives in Land O Lakes, Florida.
