Costume Design in the Movies

Leese, Elizabeth

1978 Frederick Ungar Publishing Co. - New York. First Edition 8vo = over 9" 166pp. Very Good + / Very Good + DJ First American Edition. Purple cloth covers. Dj has some very slight wear on edges, some slight scuffing/soiling. "A costume designer helps to create character while "dressing" a film - it is an art that conceals art. But for many years design either received no screen crredit, as in silent films, or was carelessly recorded at best. This volume - the first comprehensive reference work on the subject - thus fills in an important area of film history. It is based on original research, in sources that are rapidly disappearing."
