Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Jean Harlow and James Cagney, Jeanette Macdonald and Maurice Chevalier, Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable — each of these couples ignited feelings of passion and envy. Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis, Belushi and Ackroyd provided laughter at the actors’ expense. Hepburn and Tracy and Bergman and Bogart portrayed the ideal of romantic love, while Bonnie and Clyde, Harold and Maude and Thelma and Louise showed us a darker side of friendship and loyalty. Filled with absorbing anecdotes, biographical information and little-known facts about the films and their actors, this entertaining look at movie couples as they danced, argued, flirted, defended, deceived, and drove each other crazy is an irresistible journey through seventy years of film history.
