Frank Tashlin Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Knížka o světě, který není, ale klidně by být mohl. Komiks o lidech, kteří – zmožení nakupováním a požitky – se rozhodli, že začnou žít jinak, jednodušeji, a snad i líp. Příběh stejně zábavný dnes jako v roce 1951, kdy ho Frank Tashlin nakreslil, napsal a okořenil spoustou drobných vtipů, kterým se smějí buď děti, nebo dospělí, anebo všichni dohromady. Knížka, která končí začátkem... a čte se znovu a znovu. Autor touto knihou uzavřel volnou trilogii obrazových příběhů o zvířatech a lidech. Pozorný čtenář v ní najde i hrdiny prvních dvou komiksů – Medvěd, který nebyl (Baobab, 2012) a Vačice, která se nesmála (Baobab, 2013).

A contented little possum is discovered by a group of picknickers who, mistaking his upside-down smile for a frown, resolve to rescue him.

Peter Bogdanovich, director, screenwriter, actor and critic, interviews sixteen legendary directors of the first hundred years of film - from Allan Dwan and Raoul Walsh to Leo McCarey, Alfred Hitchcock and Sidney Lumet. The conversations brought together in this book give us a history of the movies. They are the stories of pioneers who came to the picture business from many worlds. Some were adventurers (running away to sea; joining Pancho Villa) before finding their place in the movies. Some were football stars, some electrical engineers, lawyers, auto mechanics, airplane designers. Some were trained in silent movies (Dwan, Walsh, Lang, von Sternberg, Hitchcock). Many of them were men who lived to the hilt and brought to their work the residue of their earlier experiences.

A satirical fable that tells the story of a bear waking up in the midst of corporate industrial civilization.
