Zusammenfassung:In this guide, renowned author Geoffrey Block introduces scholars, students, & 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 & development of the screenplay, the songs & instrumental music, the role censorship has played in the history of the film, & 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 book allows more space for the musical, literary, & dramatic dimensions that have received less emphasis in previous film studies & sheds new light on why 'Love Me Tonight' is worthy of critical attention & respect
