John Fawell's criticism is comprehensive and refreshingly reader-friendly. While considering various angles, his work presents a unified analysis that appeals to experts and newcomers. With Lubitsch's The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, Fawell delivers the definitive reading of a rediscovered classic, as probing as it is heartfelt., 'Lubitsch can't wait!' clamor fans and scholars of this consummate and delicate director as they ask for renewed appreciation of his resonant art. John Fawell answers their clarion call with an analysis that is eloquent and elegant, ever so attuned to the soft and subtle quietudes of Lubitsch's art as exhibited in the key film The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg. This is a lovely and loving study that well shows Lubitsch's pride of place in Hollywood silent cinema., A lovingly detailed celebration of a neglected silent film that is also a ringing defense of the marriage between Ernst Lubitsch's unerringly delicate touch and the much-maligned MGM studio style--and, more generally, of a whole approach to filmmaking and filmgoing that has largely fallen out of favor, one that treasures simplicity, romance, sincerity, elegance, grace, sentiment, and apparently artless art. Can a revival of The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, and indeed of all these virtues, be far behind?, There is no more generous or insightful a guide to the mystery and artistry of Hollywood than John W. Fawell. His previous work has explored how Hollywood's broad-stroke storytelling authorized an elaboration of sentiment and style into realms of true seriousness, even in films typically understood as frivolous. In this study of Ernst Lubitsch's The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, Fawell offers further evidence on Hollywood's behalf by showing, in careful and illuminating detail, how Lubitsch treated an already well-known story, on the risky but rewarding premise that a 'silent' film better illustrates the 'musical' aesthetic of Hollywood than subsequent 'talkies.' Lubitsch scholars will be grateful for Fawell's animated reading of The Student Prince, but his repeated allusions to other films and filmmakers--Capra, Chaplin, Dryer, Eisenstein, Ford, Godard, Hawks, Hitchcock, Sturges, Tati, Welles, Wilder--will make this book attractive to a broad readership., There is no more generous or insightful a guide to the mystery and artistry of Hollywood than John Fawell His The Hidden Art of Hollywood explores how Hollywood's broad-stroke storytelling authorized an elaboration of sentiment and style into realms of true seriousness, even in films typically understood as frivolous.

The book arrived so fast, was better than its advertisement, had the best price of all including shipping, and was delivered by the post office, which I prefer. I will use this book seller again. The seller rated the book “good” but the book is pristine and like new except for a harmless square-inch scrape. I couldn’t be happier!
