Ce que dit l'éditeurAfter the Final Curtain The Fall of the American Movie Theater Most of the time, there is nothing remarkable about a movie theater today ; but that wasn't always the case. When the great American movie palaces began opening in the early 20th century, they were some of the most lavish, stunning buildings ever seen. However, they wouldn't last - with the advent of in-home television, theater companies found it harder and harder to keep them open. Some were demolished, some were converted, and some remain empty to this day. After the Final Curtain : The Fall of the American Movie Theatre will take you through 24 of these magnificent buildings, revealing the beauty that remains years after the last ticket was sold. |
RésuméDébut du XXe siècle, le cinéma prend son essor et des palais du cinéma, constructions particulièrement luxueuses, sont érigés aux Etats-Unis. Mais le développement de la télévision les détrône, beaucoup sont démolis, reconvertis ou abandonnés. Cet ouvrage témoigne des 24 édifices encore présents sur le sol américain. ©Electre 2024 |
