Description: In 'Off Key', Kay Dickinson offers a study of how certain alliances of music and film are judged aesthetic failures. The book expands the ways in which the union of the film and music businesses can be understood by moving beyond the score to incorporate analyses of rock 'n' roll movies, composer biopics, and pop stars' acting.
