Description de l'ouvrage :
• Offers a musicological approach to the film Love Me Tonight
• Examines the lyrics and music of all the songs, instrumental numbers, and underscoring featured in the film
• The first book solely devoted to a musical film by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, arguably the most prominent and successful songwriting team from the mid-1920s to 1940s
• Incorporates details from literary and musical archival sources, including musical manuscripts and censorship reports
In this Oxford Guide to Film Musicals, renowned author Geoffrey Block introduces scholars, students, and general readers to a remarkable musical film, Love Me Tonight (1932), which has enjoyed considerably high esteem but remains less familiar than other acknowledged classics of its era. Individual chapters are devoted to the work's genesis and development of the screenplay, the songs and instrumental music, the role censorship has played in the history of the film, and the film's reception from its time to the modern day. The topics are informed by extensive archival holdings in several major library collections, as well as from the indispensable resources housed at the Paramount Studio archives. This Guide allows more space for the musical, literary, and dramatic dimensions that have received less emphasis in previous film studies and sheds new light on why Love Me Tonight is worthy of critical attention and respect.
