Customer Reviews

Great photos, great text, great tone-exactly what I wanted!

I enjoyed this book very much...it has an amusing touch of irreverence while still being very much a "fan" book. The photos are superb; there are definitely some jolting star shots here thatI KNOW I've never seen before. A lovely book which provides the requisite facts about the "hunks" but also has an element of whimsy & fun. I tried to track this book down before a year before locating it; it was worth the wait!

Gorgeous!

Magnificent photos, interviews and stories of a lost era. I especially enjoyed the Tony Curtis, Jeffrey Hunter, Jeff Chandler and Sal Mineo sections. The writing matched the photos - very upbeat and done more like an old fashioned movie magazine than a "tell all."
