By examining the historical, political and personal realities that situate the artworks, Susan Felleman offers an incisive account of how they operate not as mere objects but as powerful players within the films, thereby exceeding the narrative function of props, copies, pastiches or reproductions. The book consists of a series of interconnected case studies of movies, including \u003cem\u003eThe Trouble with Harry\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAn Unmarried Woman\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Player\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePride \u0026amp; Prejudice\u003c\/em\u003e, among others, ultimately showing that when real art works enter into fiction films, they often embody themes and discourses in ways that other objects cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e' Felleman (Univ. of South Carolina) adroitly examines how sculptures and paintings hold up in the film medium as much more than props and reproductions.
