"We are blessed with another new Brooks book! This is a very handsome accompaniment to the precious moments of Louise recently rediscovered from Now We're in the Air." - Paul Joyce (ithankyouarthur)

    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    For die-hard Louise Brooks fans only this, who feel they need all the extra information they can about this film, which has recently been rediscovered in part and restored. There is some useful stuff here, and the rare stills are a bonus, but one is disappointed to see that a large chunk of the book is free of any original research or criticism. Instead there are 30 pages of facsimile presentation of "Reclutas Por Los Aires", a fictionalization of the film in Spanish, then the same all over again, this time in a 14pp translation (there's also a facsimile presentation of 6 pages of fictionalization from Boys Cinema Weekly which, while treading the some ground a third time, at least offers no direct repeat). What would have been more useful would be a shot-by-shot analysis of the remaining footage with more stills or a round up of anything Brooks ever said about the film (if more could be found). It seems churlish to criticize a book which is obviously so much a labor of love, especially when it is all so well printed and presented. But, especially at the high price asked, and lasting only 129pp in all, there is inevitably a sense of let down.
