Trade Review
"Annette Kuhn explores the significance of memories of 1930s filmgoing to study patterns of remembrance and their potential causes. This is an exceptional example of the value of ethnohistory and psychological theory combined with speculation about the meanings of cinema in lives. It sets important standards in researching memories of movies." -Janet Staiger "The main spine of this book stems from a comprehensive series of interviews with subjects recalling their experiences of 1930s cinemagoing. Your feel the breath of life in these spectators, a rarity in film studies, thanks to the painstaking work contracting the interview subjects and recording and tabulating their testimony." -JUMPCUT
