Film Quarterly (Fall 1983) [cover: Sean Penn in BAD BOYS]

Berkeley: University of California Press. Near Fine. 1983. (Vol. XXXVII, No. 1). Periodical. [nice clean copy, essentially as-new with just a touch of wear along the spine]. (B&W photographs) Articles in this issue: "Yasujiro Ozu: Notes on a Retrospective," by Kathe Geist; "Confessions of a Feminist Porn Programmer," by Karen Jaehne. There are reviews of three contemporary films: Bertrand Tavernier's DEATH WATCH, Ingmar Bergman's FANNY AND ALEXANDER, and Richard Rosenthal's BAD BOYS. More than half of this issue's 65 pages, however, are devoted to reviews of the year's film books (actually a continuation of a feature that began in the Spring 1983 issue), including studies of directors John Ford, Stanley Kubrick, Preston Sturges, Alfred Hitchcock, William Wellman, and Sacha Guitry. (We have numerous additional issues of this and other academic/critical film periodicals that are not listed online; please inquire if you have particular needs or wants.) .
