Advertising (one page) art = poster = afiche for some of the most memorable flicks made during the last century -- in just about every imaginable genre, American and international! What a delight to see once more The Seven Year Itch, that delightful Marilyn Monroe classic shown in 1955 -- I was 15 and during that summer worked as an usher in a Wildwood, NJ movie theatre -- must have seen that picture several dozen times!
Historical notes on the best known producers add very informative details to this marvelous book -- Fox, 20th Century Pictures, Metro, MGM, Paramount, Columbia, RKO, Warner Brothers, First National, Republic -- as well as notes on some of the greatest stars of the silver screen -- Shirley Temple, Betty Grable, Greta Garbo, Laurel and Hardy, Fred Astaire, the early Disney film characters, Rudolph Valentino, and MANY more!
