Maurice Rapf was the Director Emeritus Film Studies and professor at Dartmouth College. He began at Dartmouth as an adjunct professor in 1966. In his long career, Maurice Rapf was a screenwriter, director, producer, film professor, and film critic.
[Rapf] witnessed the rise and fall of the studio system, and delivers, in his own unique perspective, A Silents Majority Must Read.
— Silents Majority
His personal recollections of the movies that were made at the time and the stars who inhabited that studio is informative and, indeed, priceless.
— Rapport
...the book is quite different from the most of the film industry biographies as the writer never rose to the top. I found the book to be extremely engrossing.

...Rapf has led a fascinating life and his life story makes for an interesting read.
