Using classics such as Chinatown, Casablanca, And through a Glass Darkly, the author reveals the shape and inner life of the well crafted scene.

A little rubbing of the book edges and panels and a previous owner has underlined some of the text. There is a horizontal crease to the front panel, and a crease to the back strip. Age toning of the text block edges and pages. Size: Trade Paperback. X, 467 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.
