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.
