5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful reference,
By Merrill Gee "good story lover" (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Encyclopaedia of the Musical Film (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful reference for anyone interested in musical film. It has all the major actors, actresses, directors, composers and lyricists. If, for example, you see an old Doris Day movie and wonder what else she was in, this book lists all her musical films. You can even discover if your favorite old-time actor e.g. Cary Grant, made any musicals. In addition, the author has given us some biographical information about the most popular performers such as the most popular songs they introduced and if they had a successful partnership with another performer e.g. Astaire-Rogers. All in all, a wonderful treasure trove for the musical aficionado.
5.0 out of 5 stars
FAR MORE THAN JUST A WORK OF REFERENCE,
By
This review is from: Encyclopaedia of the Musical Film (Paperback)
I bought this as a work of reference, but it's far more than that. It covers films, songwriters, performers and singers, and is eminently readable, being embellished throughout with background information and anecdotes. It should be sought out by anyone with an interest in the songs and history of the silver screen.
