Oops, bought it for the wrong purpose, but well worth it.

Yes, I know about plenty of actors who go both ways. I never let that get in the way of my favorite movies. While perusing the book, I was, however, surprised at the film descriptions. The writer Eric Braun starts with certain actors’ propensities and others with whom they interact. Soon, though, he moves off the subject of the book and gives a unique description of the movies in which they play. As with many movie books, there are some well-chosen monotone stills from some of the most popular movies. The only drawback is the index. Oh, there is no index.
