EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Camera Study of Edmund Goulding, the Famous Director (Edmund Goulding, director, studio portrait with puppet strings. Captioned, An Astrologer of The Screen: Goulding Pulls the Strings) This studio portrait of Edmund Goulding, the renowned English film director, offers a unique insight into the magic behind the silver screen during the 1930s. With a camera's discerning eye, we witness Goulding in his element, directing the careers of some of Hollywood's biggest stars as skillfully as he crafted films. The strings in Goulding's hand are not those of a puppeteer, but rather the metaphorical reins that guided the likes of Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Marion Davies. These three formidable actresses, among many others, owe some of their most memorable performances to the deft direction of this astute filmmaker. The 1933 film "Grand Hotel" stands as a testament to Goulding's remarkable ability to weave together the talents of his stars, resulting in a cinematic masterpiece. As the strings in this image suggest, the director's influence extended far beyond the camera frame, shaping the lives and legacies of the actors under his tutelage. This camera study of Edmund Goulding provides a glimpse into the 20th century's golden age of cinema, where the art of storytelling and the manipulation of talent converged to create unforgettable moments on the silver screen.
