Hollywood Hoofbeats: The Fascinating Story of Horses in Movies and Television, Expanded and Updated 2nd Edition (CompanionHouse Books) The Truth about Trigger, Silver, the Avatar Direhorses, and More (edição 2014)
The horses that captured the moviegoers' hearts are the common denominator in Hollywood Hoofbeats. As author Petrine Day Mitchum writes, â??the movies as we know them would be vastly different without horses. There would be no Westernsâ??no cowboy named John Wayneâ??no Gone with the Wind, no Ben Hur, no Dances with Wolves..." no War Horse, no True Grit, no Avatar! Those last three 21st-century Hollywood creations are among the new films covered in this expanded second edition of Hollywood Hoofbeats written by the daughter of movie star Robert Mitchum, who himself appeared on the silver screen atop a handsome chestnut gelding. Having grown up around movie stars and horses, Petrine Day Mitchum is the ideal author to pay tribute to the thousands of equine actors that have entertained the world since the inception of the film medium. From the early days of D.W. Griffith's The Great Train Robbery to Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, this celebration of movies promises something for every Hollywood fan... the raucous comedy of Abbot and Costello (and â??Teabiscuit") in It Ain't Hay, a classic sports films like National Velvet starring Elizabeth Taylor, a timeless epic with Errol Flynn, and films featuring guitar-strumming cowboys like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. INSIDE HOLLYWOOD HOOFBEATS Movie trivia and fascinating anecdotes about the stars of yesterday and today An inside look at the stunts horses performed in motion pictures and the lingering controversies Hundreds of illustrations, including rare movie posters, movie stills, and film clips Updated, expanded text including coverage of new movies and photographs Chapters devoted to action films, Westerns, comedies, musicals, child stars, and more Famous TV programs and their horses including Mr. Ed and Silver (Lone… (mais)
Hollywood Hoofbeats: The Fascinating Story of Horses in Movies and Television, Expanded and Updated 2nd Edition (CompanionHouse Books) The Truth about Trigger, Silver, the Avatar Direhorses, and More
This outstanding study looks at the many ways in which horses have been used in motion pictures over the art form's century-and-a-half history.
In fact, a trotting horse named Abe Edgington, was featured in an 1878 series of precisely-timed still photographs to win a bet for his owner, former California governor Leland P. Stanford. The This outstanding study looks at the many ways in which horses have been used in motion pictures over the art form's century-and-a-half history.
In fact, a trotting horse named Abe Edgington, was featured in an 1878 series of precisely-timed still photographs (reprinted in the introduction) to win a bet for his owner, former California governor Leland P. Stanford. The bet was not for speed, because Abe Edgington was alone on the track. It was to prove that, during a precise point during the trotting gait, all four feet of the horse would be off the ground at once. This series of still photos, combined with others of horses moving at different gaits, gave impetus to the idea of the "moving picture", which burst out of the gate, so to speak, within the next 20 years. And the dust hasn't settled yet.
Authors Petrine Day Mitchum and Audrey Pavia, have accumulated hundreds of high-quality photos and an even greater number of anecdotes and nuggets of historical information on big and small screen horses, and rather than taking a straight historical line from Abe Edgington to the horselike aliens in the movie Avatar, they've broken the content into the different film genres in which equine actors helped transport audiences into and through the adventure.
From the early silents, through the heyday of the Western, with side trips through historical costume dramas, racetrack action, kids' movies, and slapstick comedy, the individual equine performers get to shine here. Insider information explains how many onscreen stunts are prepared, how the horses are trained, what sleight-of-hand is used to perfect the illusions, and how the humane treatment of animal performers evolved over the years from something not even considered to being taken just as seriously as the safety of their human co-stars.
This is also a beautifully designed book, balancing text and photos on quality glossy stock, with a large-scale format that lets the artwork really shine. The only quibble one might have is with the paperback format, because this is a book any horse afficionado will want to keep in their permanent library. ( )
