Book Presentation:
"A truly delightful, interesting and informative volume - with a nice (and very mixed) choice of subjects." Anthony Slide Silent Lives contains 100 biographical sketches of the great--and near great--of the silent film era. Each vividly written profile is illustrated by exquisite photographs, many of which have not been seen in decades. Kevin Brownlow (who provides the foreword) says: "If you ever wondered who created the movies, this fascinating book will provide the answer."
