Cinema [magazine] (issue no. 32) (Winter 1972-1973) [cover: Woody Allen]

Beverly Hills CA: Spectator International. Near Fine. 1972. (Vol. 7, No. 3). Magazine. [nice clean copy, faint handling wear only]. (B&W photographs) Another excellent issue of this superb periodical, with Stephen Mamber taking over temporarily as editor from Paul Schrader (credited here as "Editor in absentia," whatever the hell that was about). Contents: two articles, an interview and a filmography devoted to Woody Allen (no doubt some of the earliest serious critical attention he received as a film director; it must have warmed his neurotic little heart to see himself described as "arguably the finest film comedian to have emerged in America since Jerry Lewis"); brief translations from an interview with Yasujiro Ozu, commenting on his silent films; an extensive "structural analysis" of the films of Elia Kazan; a reassessment (I guess it needed it) of Gillo Pontecorvo's BURN! (that's the one where a blonde Marlon Brando played egomaniacal adventurer William Walker); an extensive discussion (with bibliography) of Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE; a review of the book "Jean Renoir, The World of His Films" by Leo Braudy. So much good stuff here! [We have numerous issues of this and other film-related periodicals that are not listed online; please inquire if you have particular needs or wants.] .
