Soviet Cinema.

First Edition, First Printing. A key publication of the Stalin era. The text is in English as this book was squarely intended as a propaganda vehicle. But it was produced at the high watermark of state-controlled Soviet cinema and includes work by some of the greatest film-makers in the history of the medium.

4to. Original red cloth, photographic illustration to each board, titles to spine in black, photographic endpapers. Errata slip present. Extensively illustrated. Accession stamp to early leaf, ink numerals to first blank, trivial rubbing to the tips but an exceptional copy with all the inserted leaves intact and complete.
