Bert Cardullo examines the evolution of screen performance through the lens of both historical practice and critical theory. By analyzing the techniques of iconic actors ranging from Charlie Chaplin and Lillian Gish to Meryl Streep, the text explores the distinct challenges of acting for the camera versus the stage. This scholarly investigation provides a comprehensive look at how cinematic performance has been defined and refined throughout the twentieth century.
