Richard Dyer's In the Space of a Song takes an in-depth look at the
use of songs in film. Songs take up space and time in film and the
way they do so indicates a great deal about the songs themselves,
the nature of the feelings they present, and who is allowed to
present feelings how, when and where. In the Space of a Song
explores this perception through a range of examples, from classic
MGM musicals to blaxploitation cinema, with the career of Lena
Horne providing a turning point in the cultural dynamics of the
feeling. Chapters include: The Perfection of Meet Me in St. Louis A
Star Is Born and the Construction of Authenticity 'I Seem to Find
the Happiness I Seek': Heterosexuality and Dance in the Musical The
Space of Happiness in the Musical Singing Prettily: Lena Horne in
Hollywood Is Car Wash a Musical? Music and Presence in
Blaxploitation Cinema In the Space of a Song is ideal for both
scholars and students of film studies.
