5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Landmark Film Book, March 5, 2005

Movie Fan (the South) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The MGM Story: The Complete History of Fifty Roaring Years (Hardcover)

This is a HUGE book with a photo from every MGM production from the 1920's to the 1970's!!! Many full page!! Plus a good little paragraph synopsis for each movie. I have treasured this book for over 20 years. No film fan can be without it!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The MGM Story: The Complete History of Fifty Roaring Years (Hardcover)

it will take a long time to go through this great book. Starting with movies in the silent era on until the mid-70's - all black and white stills from all the movies distributed by MGM - what a treasure trove of photos of all the great stars of yesteryear.

by reading the small synopisis of the movies you'll be able to select the ones you'd like to rent or buy

if you love movies you'll love this book
