First appearing in 1976, American Classic Screen was the publishing
arm of The National Film Society. Intended for scholars and general
readers interested in films from the golden age of cinema and
beyond, the magazine ran for a decade and included original
interviews, profiles, and articles that delved deep into the rich
history of Hollywood. Contributors to the magazine included noted
academics in the area of film studies, as well as independent
scholars and authors eager to expand the world of cinema. Since the
periodical's demise, however, many of the essays and articles have
been difficult to find at best and in some cases, entirely
unavailable. In American Classic Screen Interviews, editors John C.
Tibbetts and James M. Welsh have assembled some of the most
significant and memorable interviews conducted for the magazine
over its ten-year history. This collection contains rare
conversations with some of the brightest stars of yesteryear, as
well as gifted filmmakers, celebrated animators, and highly revered
historians, including Fred Astaire, Kevin Brownlow, Frank Capra,
Stanley Donen, Olivia DeHavilland, Irene Dunne, Joan Fontaine, Friz
Freleng, Margaret Hamilton, Winton C. Hoch, Henry King, Mervyn Le
Roy, Fred MacMurray, Glen MacWilliams, Rouben Mamoulian, Clarence
"Ducky" Nash, Paul Newman, Hermes Pan, Robert Preston, and Jane
Withers. This compendium of interviews recaptures the spirit and
scholarship of that time and will appeal to both scholars and fans
who have an abiding interest in the American motion picture
industry.
