[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good overview of the notable and award-winning films, actors and directors from 20th Century Hollywood. I could wish for more details and for the exclusion of additional films (that are personal favorites of mine) but I am content with my reading material. Good introduction for cinema neophytes to Hollywood’s century of prodigious output.
