About this product
Product Information
Cinema of Swords is a combination history, handbook, and love letter to nearly four hundred movies and television shows featuring swashbucklers: knights, pirates, samurai, Vikings, gladiators, outlaw heroes like Zorro and Robin Hood, and anyone else who lives by the blade and deals with their problems at the point of a sword. As much as swordplay seems a mainstay of current pop culture-whether Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings or Star Wars-swashbuckling was if anything even more ubiquitous through Hollywood's classic period, from its foundations in the Silent Era up through the efflorescence of fantasy films in the '80s. With a huge cinematic backlist of classics now available online and on-demand, Cinema of Swords traces the roots and branches of this unruly genre, highlighting the classics of the form and helping fans discover new gems they never knew existed. With wry summaries and criticism from swordplay expert Lawrence Ellsworth, this comprehensive guidebook is perfect as a reference work or as a dazzling Hollywood history to be read end-to-end.

Reviews
"Cinema of Swords is the adventure lover's guide to the streaming era. More than just an invaluable reference book, it's a browser's delight, with insightful, informative, and frequently laugh-out-loud entries on hundreds of swashbucklers, from Captain Blood to The Golden Voyage of Sinbad to Hawk the Slayer. It's a pleasure to read, and the one truly indispensable movie book of the last five years. Don't miss it."--John O'Neil, editor, BlackGate.com, "Cinema of Swords is an exhaustive, informative, thoroughly invigorating retrospective on motion pictures that contain swordfights. Author Ellsworth has brought humor and knowledge to the proceedings, and he knows his stuff. As a former college film history instructor myself, I was pleased to see some of my favorites included--and how could they not be? This book has it all!"--Raymond Benson, author and film historian, "Cinema of Swords is a trustworthy and indispensable reference guide that's also a wildly entertaining collection of essays, joyfully written by an author of remarkable wisdom, wit, and taste. But, be warned: these pages are filled with rabbit holes, and when you find yourself flipping through them to check on a single name or the title of a film, you might stumble in to a wonderland of adventures and swashbuckling cinematic gems. Side effects may include heroics, tragedy, torture, revenge, animated skeletal swordsmen, breathless chases, and daring escapes. Overuse may lead to double- or even triple-feature movie nights with friends. I recommend hot, buttered popcorn and Robin Hood Daffy as the opening cartoon short. Enjoy!"--Wynne McLaughlin, narrative game designer, screenwriter, and novelist

I delayed in responding, because we didn’t have an opportunity to view it until yesterday (2.15.2024). The item was as described, new, and packaged as such. Upon viewing the video, we had no issues. The video was fairly priced, and I wish we would have received it sooner, but, I can’t complain because shipping was free. Nonetheless, I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again

The item I purchased was a Hasbro collectibles/Star Wars vintage collection the Mandalorian/ET – ST . Once again, there was no communication. The item arrived packed well, with nothing broken. Yeah I didn’t arrive that advertised. The problem with eBay live is you need to know what you’re doing before you put a bid in on anything. If you’re going to buy something know what it’s going to cost you . Because it says $71 on the screen it’s gonna cost you almost $90. I paid too much for this too. Ver
