It explores, for the first time in print, the creative symbiosis that developed between the two, including regular film versions of popular radio series as well as radio versions of hit films. This fascinating volume, now available in paperback, examines specific genres (comedy and detective stories) to identify similarities and differences in their media appearances, and in particular issues arising from the nature of film as predominantly visual and radio as exclusively aural. Richards also highlights the interchange of personnel, such as Orson Welles, between the two media. Throughout the book runs the theme of comparison and contrast between the experiences of the two media in Britain and America. The book culminates with an in-depth analysis of the media appearances of three enduring mythic figures in popular culture: Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Students, scholars and lay enthusiasts of cinema history, cultural history and media studies will find this an accessible yet scholarly read." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Radio programs $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Radio programs $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasting $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasting $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 830 0 $a Studies in popular culture (Manchester, England) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802023822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13AC302C2FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
