i used to use this book (and all the others in the "films of ..." series, bette davis, errol flynn,etc) to set my alarm clock for 2 am so i could watch old hollywood movies. i was 12.
Possibly not the book I read/studied for the Trivia bowl but close enough. I did a lot of those "Films of" coffee table books to prepare. Most came from the CU or the Boulder Public Libraries. Date read is approximate.
