Sinossi

"Prop Secrets" unveils the hidden world of movie props, those often-overlooked artifacts that play a crucial role in filmmaking history. From Dorothy's ruby slippers to the Maltese Falcon, the book explores the intriguing stories behind iconic film and television objects, tracing their journey from initial design to their ultimate fate. These props are more than just set dressing; they are tangible links to our cinematic memory, reflecting the artistic vision of filmmakers and the cultural context of the films themselves. The book delves into the creation, disappearance, and occasional resurfacing of props in high-stakes auctions, revealing the ingenuity and craftsmanship involved in their design.

 
Did you know that some props are so valuable that they fetch millions of dollars at auction, or that legal battles often ensue over their ownership? Structured in three parts, "Prop Secrets" explores the design and manufacturing processes, examines cases of lost or stolen props, and analyzes the booming market for screen-used memorabilia. It connects to the fields of film studies, art history, and cultural studies, broadening our perspective on how objects contribute to storytelling and cultural identity.
