In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments This project began at Ohio State University. I wish to thank my colleague Judith Mayne for her excellent advice and for reading part of the manuscript. Danielle Marx-Scouras, Dana Renga, Gene Holland, and Karlis Racevskis offered their encouragement and support for this project. I would like to thank Jean-Luc DeSalvo and Dominique van Hooff for their kind invitation to present part of this work at San José State University. As always, many thanks to Françoise Calin, Lawrence Busenbark, Henry Garrity, and Jack Yeager for listening. I have received support from numerous colleagues outside Ohio State University. I wish to thank Barry Sarchet, Leonard Koos, Mary Vogl, and Mimi Mortimer for their conversation and encouragement. The Film Studies program at osu has been a great resource and a wonderful home. I am grateful to Robert Lount, Steven Oliver, Liz Factor, and Jason Middlemiss in different ways. As always, I wish to thank my parents, Don and Arlene O’Riley. ...
