"Freeze Frame", a collection of photos from the past of our favorite movie stars and film producers. The book is well composed showing private moments, in depth character studies, portraits,and on set scenes.
Great photography,"Life" magazine stile, by a master. I enjoyed reminiscing my years gone by at the movies and will continue to do so in the years to come. Thank you mister Kirkland.
