Book details
Overview
The stories Alice Guy Blaché put on film are the subject of this book. It contains 725
synopses including 360 translated from the original French.
This book is not a filmography, or a critical review of Alice's films, but a
long drink of her stories. It was Alice's love of story that led her to start putting them
on film in 1896.
This collection may be compared to looking at Alice's bookshelf or unpacking a trunk
in her attic. Since she wrote, or had a hand in writing, almost all of the stories she
helped put on film, these stories tell us something about her or, at the very least,
the times in which she lived.
