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 Profiles, editors John C.
Tibbetts and James M. Welsh have assembled some of the most
significant and memorable profiles written for the magazine over
its ten-year history. This collection contains rare insights into
some of the brightest stars of yesteryear, as well as gifted
filmmakers, directors and craftsmen alike, including Fatty
Arbuckle, Baby Peggy, Warner Baxter, Ralph Bellamy, Beulah Bondi,
George M. Cohan, Cecil B. DeMille, Boris Karloff, Jayne Mansfield,
Marilyn Monroe, Eleanor Powell, Robert Redford, Mickey Rooney,
William Wellman, and Natalie Wood.This compendium of profiles
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.
