We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The introduction of Leslie Caron was by a series of stylized scenes of French Baroque, Louis XVI, Jacobean, Victorian, Modern, and Biedermeier, each painted in a single color to complement the color of the costume. The first was seen in a dissolve through a mirror frame. The end was a composite shot seeing five scenes at the same time, which meant weeks of work for the special camera effects department under Irving Ries. Oscar Levant dreamt he gave a concert, the Gershwin "Concerto in F", where he was soloist, conductor, and all the musicians at once, an effect again achieved by interesting lighting and fog effect plus multiple printing by Irving Ries.
