Great Composers Portrayed on Film, 1913 through 2002

The late Charles P. Mitchell was a librarian in Millinocket, Maine. He wrote on film for numerous periodicals and on music for several more and hosted radio shows about classical music in New York City and Portland, Maine.

“extensive index...useful”—ARBA; “a masterwork of research and a triumph of film and music commentary. Mitchell’s command of the subject covers an extraordinary spectrum. For anyone with a passion for music and movies, this book hits the right notes”—New York Resident; “in-depth analyses of many movies”—Katahdin Times.
