This collection chronicles his incisive reviews from a pivotal era in filmmaking, offering a unique perspective on the nascent art form. Greene's distinctive voice, often acerbic yet always brilliant, dissects the cinematic landscape of the late 1930s, revealing both the triumphs and follies of the silver screen. He presents a compelling argument for film as a serious artistic medium, while simultaneously entertaining readers with his sharp wit and profound observations. This volume illustrates the evolution of film criticism through the lens of one of the 20th century's most celebrated writers.
