Drawing on meticulous research, sharp wit, and insightful analysis, Richard Barrios illuminates the origins of the movie musical in this extensively revised and updated edition of his highly acclaimed A Song in the Dark. From Warner Bros. and Jolson, to the Oscar-winning Broadway Melody and beyond, here is the whole funny and peculiar history of these films, their creators, and their audiences. Ranging from the smash hits of The Singing Fool and Sunny Side Up to bizarre flops like Golden Dawn and Cecil B. DeMille's Madam Satan, they form a body of work unlike anything else in the history of popular entertainment. Here too are legendary performers, directors, and composers: from Fannie Brice, James Cagney, and Mae West, to Busby Berkeley, George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, and countless others. With many new rare photographs, some not published in nearly 80 years, this new edition traces the rise and fall, and rise again, of this quintessential piece of the American experience.

商品の説明

レビュー

This lively, intelligent and well-researched survey tells the tumultuous and often delightfully absurd saga of the film industry's frantic, disaster-laced efforts in the late 1920's and early 1930's to fabricate a new, lucrative product -- the movie musical -- as part of its effort to come to grips with the new technology of sound. Mr. Barrios makes clear that contrary to myth The Jazz Singer, featuring the overbearing Al Jolson, was neither the first major motion picture to use sound nor the first to make notable use of music. A Song in the Dark deals engagingly with its colorful and fascinating subject, and it is illuminating not only on artistic concerns, but on business and technical ones as well, including the process by which many of these films, previously declared lost, have been found and restored. It makes an effective case for a re-examination of this audacious, excessive and underappreciated moment in motion picture history. ― New York Times

ミュージカル映画というジャンルが確立するまでの数年間(最初のトーキー映画とされる(が、実はそうではない)「ジャズシンガー」(1929年)の製作前後の数年)における、映画産業の動向を、いくつかのテーマにそって詳細に記した本です。各映画会社の競争の結果、規格が乱立することとなったトーキー技術の開発の歴史、そして「ジャズシンガー」以前のトーキー短編映画。「ジャズシンガー」や「ブロードウェイ・メロディ」などのエポックメーキングな作品が出るたびに模倣作品が大量生産され、「母もの」「バックステージもの」などの短命なブームが繰り返される様子。オペレッタや舞台のミュージカル、レビューなどから題材、人材を求めた過度期。さらに、舞台から映画に入った人々の運命。そして、フレッド・アステアの登場でミュージカル映画は1ジャンルとして完成した、というのが著者の描くミュージカル映画の幼年期です。この本を読んで感心するのは、参照、引用された資料の豊富さです。これはただ資料がたくさん残っている、ということだけではなく、見たいときに必要な資料が見れる環境が整っていることの証拠だと思います。各章はテーマ別で、厳密にではないですがほぼ年代順となっています。資料の豊富さはすごいですが、その反面、資料の引用だけで本ができあがっているという印象もあります。ただ、内容的に面白い本ですし、この時期のミュージカル映画についての本は国内ではほとんどないので、関心のある方には、二重丸でお薦めです。

5つ星のうち5.0 The Emergence of an Art Form
2013年4月1日に英国でレビュー済み

Richard Barrios has created a compendium of the factual birth of the musical. Hollywood orientated it should be, but his critique of the industry is both illuminating and informative. With the advent of 'talkies', it was inevitable that song and musicals would dominate a period in cinema history. No longer a stage performance it expanded to a widespread seated audience. The elements of stardom with a largely elite star production core led to another dimension of escapist pleasure. The music came first but when combined with acting and direction blew the coventional cinema apart

This book is more than a history or analysis of the development of musical film, Barrios takes us through the historical journey of the movement with an appropriate wit and humour that time has allowed to look back on with the difficulties of filming from the technical filming aspects through to the producers, directors and actors. The pressures of fashion and public opinion are here to enjoy and that is the attraction of the book. No studio propaganda, just a memorable romp through the development of the musical. A really marvellous, entertaining, humorous and objective view of the subject that lives up to it's title. Not just a reference book but a repeatedly readable one. Having had this for a few years and with a love of musicals it is indispensable and thus highly recommended.

5つ星のうち5.0 Interesting and encyclopedic work on the early talkie musical
2007年4月30日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

I don't know of any other book that does such a thorough job covering the history of the American musical film from the years 1926-1934 as this book does. It starts out shattering the myth that Warner Brothers invested in the Vitaphone sound system because it was near bankruptcy. Instead, Sam Warner saw the potential for sound in films and literally dragged his brothers kicking and screaming to the sound revolution. The book talks about Warners' first experiments that led up to the first hit picture with sound - "The Jazz Singer", and the untimely death of Sam Warner one day before the film's New York City premiere. The surviving Warners saw the potential after the money started rolling in, but they didn't have Sam's vision of how to make a success out of talking pictures. Thus, Warner Bros. was literally a Vitaphone train without a conductor.

This starts the reader through a three year journey of all the major studios groping to see what does and doesn't work, their many flops, and their few artistic triumphs. What got the studios through the early days was the novelty of sound attracting audiences regardless of the quality of the film, and the author does a good job of being thorough without being dry. His descriptions of some of the early sound musicals, some of the strange decisions that were made, and the early technical obstacles and their solutions are outright hilarious. The author describes how all of the bad products and bad decisions eventually cause audiences to have had their fill of musicals by 1931. Then he describes how "42nd Street" revives the genre, the lessons that were learned, and how the musical was ultimately reborn as a popular artform.

You can read this book all the way through, but more than likely you'll have to read it more than once to get everything out of it since it is densely packed with information about individual films as well as overall trends. I highly recommend it if you are interested in the early talkie musical and its history.

I have had this book for several months now and in that time I have red and re-read it many times. I would heartly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the early years of talkies. What's more the author has that rare talent of making you want to rush out and see all the films described - even the bad ones! I have now seen a selection of these (on DVD) from the sublime (The Broadway Melody) to the ridiculous (Glorifying the American Girl). The book sets all these films within the context of the era in which they were made, and makes you appreciate them all - even the bad ones - and see them for what they were, the faltering steps of a new kind of entertainment. I would also recommend Alexander Walker's 'The Shattered Silents' and Ethan Mordden's 'The Hollywood Musical' which cover the same era.

5つ星のうち5.0 Entertaining and lots of info and insight
2009年12月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
Let me begin by saying that normally this type of book would not usually get my attention. But, the author is my brother and so I read the book. It is very evident that Richard loves these musicals--it should be evident that Richard loves movies. He always has. I also know that he knows his "stuff," he's informative and witty, and yes, he is opinionated. His writing style can be a lesson in itself. More than anything, he is entertaining and his prose can "sparkle."
He has been watching these movies since his early childhood and he has been reading about movies and the Hollywood scene also during his growing years. Join him on this journey to the past, in a time and place that exists no longer, but still influences our 21st century culture. If you love music, the musical theatre and especially those gems from the past--you will love Richard Barrios' "A Song in the Dark."

5つ星のうち4.0 Terrific Book, Cheap Binding
2022年2月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
Reading the introduction to this book I was afraid it would be a wonky, didactic slog. Boy was I wrong! It's scholarly in its research, unbelievably thorough in it's scope -- the original production notes of several musicals are referenced -- he seems to have seen every one of them from 1926 on. But it's written with so much wit and affection that it's hard to put down. Everyone with any interest in Hollywood history should read this book.
Unfortunately the quality of the product is poor. My volume split at about page 360 simply by opening it. Too bad the glued binding is so feeble.
