Eloquent Gestures: The Transformation of Performance Style in the Griffith Biograph Films
Roberta Pearson
Demonstrating how D. W. Griffith played a key role in reformulating the modern film's narrative techniques, this study charts the emergence of the realistic "verisimilar" style of acting used by Griffith, which replaced the "histrionic" style derived from the 19th-century stage.
