This volume highlights the workers who collaborated inside and outside Hollywood to produce dialogue, sound effects and music for films. It interrogates the statement that 'the silent screen was never silent'; shows how Altman and Malick pushed the boundaries of dialogue; explores what Dolby did to movies; and describes how Walter Murch, Alfred Newman, and many more scored and composed, and how cinematic sound is adapting to digital exhibition on computer screens and smartphones.
