Songs take up space and time in films. Richard Dyer's In the Space
of a Song takes off from this perception, arguing that the way
songs take up space 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.
