| Sommario/riassunto: | "Barry Grant gracefully articulates the pleasures of that most joyous of Hollywood's genres. A must read for anyone who loves musicals and, especially, for those who think they don't." -David Desser, University of Illinois "Elegantly conceived and beautifully illustrated, The Hollywood Film Musical introduces the genre with all its problematic glories. Grant is meticulous as a historian and scrupulous as a cultural critic. Did I mention the beautiful illustrations?" -Krin Gabbard, Stony Brook University. |
