4.0 out of 5 stars If You Enjoy The Movies, You'll Love This Book !, November 3, 1999

By	Irvin Goodman - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

160 pages of great black and white and color photography from the early days of the movies to the present time. Every page is a winner. Sure to bring back memories of the past. Each movie includes: A brief discussion and an Oscar Index, Type Casting, Behind the Scenes, and What Might Have Been. Movie fans will enjoy this in their libraries.

3.0 out of 5 stars so-so, July 16, 2007

Obviously you'll quibble with some of the selections or rankings, which is probably the point of a book like this. A short synopsis of each film or some stories and trivia are included (example: Toto the dog from 'The Wizard Of Oz' made $125 a week in production; the munchkins made $50). Some nice behind the scenes photos are another highlight. Not an incredibly insightful book, but good to pass an hour or two.
