Cinema and radio in Britain and America, 1920-60 charts the
evolving relationship between the two principal mass media of the
period. It explores, for the first time in print, the creative
symbiosis that developed between the two, including regular film
versions of popular radio series as well as radio versions of hit
films. This fascinating volume, now available in paperback,
examines specific genres (comedy and detective stories) to identify
similarities and differences in their media appearances, and in
particular issues arising from the nature of film as predominantly
visual and radio as exclusively aural. Richards also highlights the
interchange of personnel, such as Orson Welles, between the two
media. Throughout the book runs the theme of comparison and
contrast between the experiences of the two media in Britain and
America. The book culminates with an in-depth analysis of the media
appearances of three enduring mythic figures in popular culture:
Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Students,
scholars and lay enthusiasts of cinema history, cultural history
and media studies will find this an accessible yet scholarly read.
