Famous Movie Critic on the Legendary Lombard,
By Tee (LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Carole Lombard (A Pyramid illustrated history of the movies) (Paperback)
The Pyramid Illustrated History of the Movies series were true treasure for film fans of the 1970's, I was a teenager at the time and loved to collect the series and still do. These are softcover books about 6x7 that are loaded with photos of films of the star in question along with a running commentary of the star's filmography and biographical information. Leonard Maltin's Carole Lombard may have been the first volume in the series I owned and it's definately one of the best ones. Maltin at the time was just another movie historian (a quite young one at the time) and several years away from becoming famous as the resident movie critic on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. Maltin has written about old films since he was a teenager and clearly loves the classic films and their stars. He is also a very fine writer and his style fits so perfectly with the Pyramid series it's regrettable this was the only entry he wrote in the collection. If you love Lombard, you will definately want this book.
