Preface
This book has been a long time in the writing and I owe thanks to the people who have helped, read, and been willing to discuss. First, I need to acknowledge, gratefully, Kitty Moore who originally read my proposal and responded with a contract. I am grateful for the kindness and help I received at the Library of Congress, Motion Picture and Recorded Sound Division in Washington, D.C. Thanks go to the librarians at the 42nd Street Library in New York City and at the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts, who were unfailingly helpful. And I need to thank Dr. Bianca Cody Murphy, who took the time to listen to my largely incoherent speculations about science fiction films, Dr. Barbara Fass Leavy, who was there to discuss or encourage when I needed it and Walter Duncan for his moral and substantive support. Thanks to all of those who read through early versions of chapters or the entire manuscript, especially Dr. Vibeke Riitzou Petersen, Rudy Hornish, Dr. Barbara Fass Leavy, and Lois DeWitt. I want to thank my editor, Jason Renker, who was both enthusiastic and critical as needed. But most of all, I must thank Warren Albright, who always listened with interest, always had something intelligent to say, and who put up with me and my computer for the last two years. It hardly needs saying that many of the virtues this book may have were born in the interface with all these people and that any flaws are my responsibility.
