5.0 out of 5 stars
A great resource for lovers of Hollywood musicals,
By Allen Smalling "Constant Reader," (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hollywood Musicals (Hardcover)
This is one of the best one-volume reference books of its kind that I have ever seen, as it gives both technical data (who was producer, director, etc.) as well as a bit of mild insider info. (who turned down the lead and so on). It is current up until the beginning of the Reagan era but by then, only one or two musicals a year were coming out of Hollywood anyway. Lots and lots of photos in this handsome "coffee table" tome.I got my copy in the mid-eighties at what even then was a reasonable price--under $30. If you are a real movie FANatic, expect to pay top dollar for a mint-condition copy today, or hunt noncommercial sources. Tip: You're not limited to just yard sales. Public libraries that are winnowing their stock, art enclaves, or universities with music departments are good bets. You might also see if your local "art" movie house can put you in touch with a collector. Art-house managers tend to know their steady patrons and their cinematic tastes. Who knows? You might even make a new friend. |
