4.0 out of 5 stars The glamour of cinema as seen by our greatest photographers, June 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Magnum Cinema (Paperback)
From the late '40s, Robert Capa's Magnum agency became intimately involved in the world of cinema. His personal contacts with leading directors and producers allowed him exclusive (and lucrative) access to the sets, the movie-makers, and the stars.

This book takes us from that time right up to recent days, but the climax of the book has to be its coverage of The Misfits, the final movie of Clark Gable and Marylin Monroe. The pictures of Monroe's public and private faces, along with commentary of the day, gives us an insight into her last big show - in a way only Magnum photographers can make.

Featured photographers include Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold, and Capa himself. Watch out for Hitchcock, Sophia Loren, and Orson Welles. Brilliant.
