Publisher Description There was a time when seeing a movie meant more than seeing a film. The theater itself shaped the very perception of events on screen. This multilayered history tells the story of American film through the evolution of theater architecture and the surprisingly varied ways movies were shown, ranging from Edisons 1896 projections to the 1968 Cinerama premiere of Stanley Kubricks 2001. William Paul matches distinct architectural forms to movie styles, showing how cinemas roots in theater influenced business practices, exhibition strategies, and film technologies. Author Biography William Paul is professor of film and media studies at Washington University in St. Louis. He is also the author of Ernst Lubitschs American Comedy (1983) and Laughing Screaming: Modern Hollywood Horror and Comedy (1994).
