The Eyes Have It explores those rarified screen moments when viewers are confronted by sights that seem at once impossible and present, artificial and stimulating, illusory and definitive. Murray Pomerance takes readers on an illuminating filmic journey through a vast array of cinematic moments, technical methods, and laborious collaborations from the 1930s to the 2000s to show how the viewer’s experience of “reality” is put in context and willfully engaged.

Death of the Moguls is a detailed assessment of the last days of the “rulers of film” from Hollywood’s classical era.
