Publisher's Note In Seductive Cinema, James Card -- pioneer collector of silents since the twenties, founder of the motion-picture archive at the George Eastman House, and co-founder of the Telluride Film Festival -- offers an exhilarating and richly illustrated celebration of silent movies. His lively reevaluation sheds new light on the art, directors, cinematographers, and stars of the great silent films.
Industry Reviews "The film buff James Card has devoted his career to preserving and popularizing silents, and his doting history, SEDUCTIVE CINEMA, follows the genre from the Lumiere brothers to Garbo, Dietrich, and Swanson. He unleashes a torrent of trivia on the making of such classics as MANHANDLED, STAGE STRUCK, and FLESH AND THE DEVIL, and provides a glamourous glut of photos." New Yorker - Kate Shepherd (08/16/1999)
