I'm guessing on pages, since I'm skipping around. Reading the Evelyn Keyes section. Lovely, but can't say I'm terribly fond of her or a lot of the other Hollywood types in her orbit. Liked Jane Greer far more.

Oh yes, Bobby!!! I am an avid fan of noir film and read this several years ago. It is somewhere in my endless private library and need to find it for a re-read. I know you will like it.

It appears great so far. I have the newer revised edition, with sections on more stars, including Ella Raines, a favorite. Some lush photos as well.
I need to look for the revised edition. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip."It's pretty awesome from my leaf-through, with a couple of magnificent shots of Gail Russell and other photos. ten additional profiles have been added, plus a new afterword with observations he says he could not place into the original, indicating the reader will understands why when they get to the afterward. I'm tempted to jump around in this one, not sure if I'll go through it front to back or piecemeal. Loads of texts, interviews and such, and some eye-popping photographs comparable to the ones in Vieira's book, which is saying a lot.
