Berkeley. 2007. University Of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780520252349. 271 pages. paperback. keywords: Cinema Film Western Performing Arts Music. FROM THE PUBLISHER-James Stewart once said, ‘For John Ford, there was no need for dialogue. The music said it all. ' This lively, accessible study is the first comprehensive analysis of Ford's use of music in his iconic westerns. Encompassing a variety of critical approaches and incorporating original archival research, Kathryn Kalinak explores the director's oft-noted predilection for American folk song, hymnody, and period music. What she finds is that Ford used music as more than a stylistic gesture. In fascinating discussions of Ford's westerns-from silent-era features such as Straight Shooting and The Iron Horse to classics of the sound era such as My Darling Clementine and The Searchers-Kalinak describes how the director exploited music, and especially song, in defining the geographical and ideological space of the American West. inventory #36512.
