"For the first time brings some critical standards to bear where there is usually only complete condemnation or overblown praise."--New York Times Book Review Parker Tyler (1904-1974), one of the few great American film critics, was intimate with and enormously respected by many of the underground and experimental filmmakers of his time. In this book, Tyler evaluated the Underground in general and the seminal films in particular, covering the history and scope of the genre with insight and verve. Like Tyler's
Screening of the Sexes: Homosexuality in the Movies is one of the masterpieces of cinema literature.
Introduction by J. HobermanAfterword by Charles Boultenhouse

Indispensable for anyone interested in contemporary filmmaking, its history, personalities, and rationale."--Publishers WeeklyAuthor: Parker Tyler
