Clean-Cut stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood,
By Miss Dunaway (Islamabad, Pakistan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The all-Americans (Hardcover)
It seems James Parish churns out far too many books. However, his series of books dealing with films and stars of the Golden period of Hollywood are absolutely indispensible for movie buffs.
Anyone old enough to remember the old (now defunct) film magazine, ''Films in Review'', will recall the magazine's monthly career article on stars which covered their films in detail. The article was followed by a filmography and many photos. The All-Americans is in similar vein. It covers the careers of male stars who specialised in playing clean-cut characters (or ''All-Americans'') on screen - stars like Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda, William Holden, Rock Hudson, Fred MacMurray, Ronald Reagan and James Stewart. The great thing about this book is that all of the stars' films are covered in detail along with details about their personal lives (each chapter is like a mini book). At the end is a detailed filmography and a section on photos. Anyone interested in old stars should immediately add this great book to their library. |
