It is time itself that must be carved up, molded, and remolded until it becomes, like a statue, an existing shape and form. This is the hardest to do. For a symphony is not like a statue, which can be viewed all at once, or bit by bit at leisure, in one’s own chosen time. With music we are trapped in time. —leonard bernstein, The Conductor’s Art JJaaccoobbss -- 99778800552200227799664433..iinndddd vvii 1166//1100//1144 33::5544 PPMM Contents List of Online Film Clips ix Acknowledgments xi 1 . introduction: film rhythm and the problem of sound 1 2 . a lesson with eisenstein: rhythm and pacing in ivan the terrible, part i 25 3 . mickey mousing reconsidered 58 4 . lubitsch and mamoulian 109 5 . dialogue timing and performance in hawks 166 6. afterword 217 Notes 227 Bibliography 245 Filmography 253 Index 257 JJaaccoobbss -- 99778800552200227799664433..iinndddd vviiii 1166//1100//1144 33::5544 PPMM
