Unlike most biographies, which throw some hearsay reviews on movies into a written page, Jeffrey Vance has done a masterful job of taking us through each of the Fairbanks films, so we see his rise and eventual decline. As a cinemagoer, I had heard about the great Fairbanks epics of the 1920s, but I had no clue he was an adept comedian on stage and screen during the WWI years.
Fairbanks was the first person to really understand how movies had changed after WWI, and he adapted brilliantly. Although he had 'directors' on his movies, it was Fairbanks who was really in charge from start to finish. So now to Chaplin and Chaney and Keaton, I add the Great Fairbanks, or 'Doug', as he was called. Thankfully, living in the Golden State where we still treasure silent movies with special theatres, I will now have the chance to see his epics on the silver screen.
BTW, get the printed edition...it's heavy enough to knock someone out, so you get a book and tool all-in-one.
