Another great read by Rupert Alistair. I just adore old movies, but how can you find out which ones are worth looking for to watch? These books are invaluable for that dilemma. With short plot summaries and super interesting tidbits about the actors, directors and story lines of the featured movies, it is easy to make a decision about what movie captures your attention enough to find and watch. I love Rupert's style of writing and his funny little quips in some of these movie descriptions. I will eventually own all of his books, they are fantastic reference books, and really fun to read if you love old movies like I do.

Another great read from Mr. Alistair!

I really enjoyed this, another great book about old Hollywood and it's actors and movies. It has again sparked my interest in seeking out obscure, but well worth the effort, films.

Thought this one was better then the 1st one. It seemed to go into more details on the film which made it more interesting.
