Summary of this Book...
It's hard to believe that CinemaScope was launched way back in 1953. With great hoop-la and excitement, the traditional postage-stamp cinema screen widened to embrace a cinema's whole proscenium. Nowadays, the widescreen seems commonplace, but in 1953 it was a real revolution. Fortunately, we can now all of us revisit those days, or see these wonders for the first time, thanks to DVD and widescreen television. This 368-page, well-illustrated, large-format book provides complete details on 164 of these wonderful movies, including cast and technical credits, background information, reviews, and initial release dates for America, Britain and Australia.
This type of Book is good for...
all fans of vintage and classic movies.
I especially liked...
the full color photos of Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
buy DVDs of many of the films described and reviewed.
This Book made me feel...
nostalgic.
I recommend this Book because...
it's so thoroughly researched and beautifully presented.
