This review is from: Dreaming of Fred and Ginger: Cinema and Cultural Memory (Paperback)
An interesting study of cinema magic and the cultural imagination....in England. Since we have such a world culture now, I found the attempt...through polling...to get to the essence of what constitutes remembrance to be interesting. It's also intriguing to see the actors and actresses who have been remembered, compared to the ones who were most popular at the time....Shirley Temple being almost forgotten today, while Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, are still there, in the minds of audiences...evidently all over the world. The writing is dry in places...and for American readers....some of the players featured are unknown....but all and all, the book is a reminder of our common humanity and cultural heritage.
