In his well-chosen case studies, Beach encourage us to fundamentally rethink film authorship, film style, and the creative chemistry between director and cinematographer on a remarkable range of Hollywood films, from the silent era to the digital age.Many people have approached me with questions about books that have inspired me as a filmmaker. "Christopher Beach’s breakthrough book stands alongside Patrick Keating’s Hollywood Lighting as a foundational work in the study of Hollywood cinematography.
Packed with richly detailed case studies, the book shows how new technologies and new ideas about cinema as a visual art have shaped a wide range of classics, from Double Indemnity and Rear Window to JFK and Saving Private Ryan."-Patrick Keating, author of Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir Rejecting the auteur theory’s belief in the primacy of the director, Beach demonstrates that many of the greatest Hollywood directors enjoyed long and productive partnerships with skilled and talented cinematographers. "Christopher Beach’s A Hidden History of Film Style celebrates Hollywood cinema as a collaborative art.

A Hidden History of Film Style is the first study to focus on the collaborations between directors and cinematographers, a partnership that has played a crucial role in American cinema since the early years of the silent era.
