Summary of this Book...
The days of the "B" movie on the big screen have vanished, but the movies themselves live on, courtesy of DVD and late-night TV. Here is a grand selection of the best of these minor classics from "Abilene Town" through to "Zorro, the Avenger".
This type of Book is good for...
all classic movie fans.
I especially liked...
the coverage of the "Blondie" movies with Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake; and the piece on "Charlie Chan in Shanghai", one of my favorite Chans too!
I didn't like...
the amount of attention given to Randolph Scott. Not only does he figure on both the front and back covers, plus the first six pages of posters, but many of his movies from "Abilene Town" to "Western Union" are given ecstatic reviews. I can't stand Randolph Scott. The only good performance he ever delivered was in "The Bounty Hunter" in which he actually performs one of his own stunts. (Yes, this movie is in the book too).
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
race out and buy some of these movies on DVD.
This Book made me feel...
glad to be alive in 2009!
The author of this Book...
is an expert. He sure knows his "B"s. The book is absolutely packed with fascinating information. Plus every detail you could possibly want to find out about!
I recommend this Book because...
it's a must-have for all vintage movie fans.
