THE HOLLYWOOD STORY
Roy Pickard
1986 1101011474 With seventy color and 150 black and white photographs, this book on Hollywood is one of the most fascinating of the last century! The formation of the studios, the influence of the movies on different generations of filmgoers, and the way film became the lifeblood of America and the world ...makes for a story that is rich in anecdotes, atmosphere and excitement. Great for fans, film students, collectors, ephemera collections, movie lovers -- everyone! The Hollywood Story is recounted in an oversize 256 page volume - not through the life of ONE particular star or group of stars - although HUNDREDS are featured in therse pages -- or even a selection of films, but through the stories of the great studios that made Hollywood what it was. Lavishly illustrated with color and black/white photogrpahs, the book covers the period from 1927, when the talkies began, to the present day - and the blockbudters of Spielberg and Lucas. It is the story of HOLLYWOOD in its GOLDEN YEARS and as it is now (1986) , one of the most comprehensive books onthe film capital yet produced, and a compelling read for every movie fan. Inside front cover is a copy of the poster from the film SUNSET, starring Bruce Willis and James Garner with the caption: "A History of Hollywood" from your friends at RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, about 5 x 8" in color. Lots of ephemera (Posters, stills, candids) throughout; full page photos (many in color) of movie scenes. A comprehensive index at back of book. Excellent as new condition throughout.
