Here are over 70 movie classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood, fully annotated with complete casts and credits plus other essential information, lovingly described and recalled by one of the world's foremost movie critics, John Howard Reid, who has spent over 50 years in the film industry. Mind you, Reid has his quirks. For instance, he has provided provocative illustrations of "Viva Zapata!" and "Vicki" but has not covered them in his book. "I wanted to share these great posters that I've just added to my collection," Reid explains. "The book proper starts at page three, the title page. Where else? What publishers put on pages one and two is generally a lot of fluff anyway. On the other hand, I've actually covered in detail over 70 movies which most fans will really enjoy. Films like 'Tickle Me' (Elvis Presley's best movie), 'Transcontinental Limited' (a real treat for train buffs) and 'Stormy Weather' (an absolute MUST for Lena Horne fans)."
