From The Inside Flap:

In a series of colorful excursions into the golden era of Hollywood, the author nostalgically recaptures the romance of motion pictures from silents to Cinerama. This book is a collection of sprightly, intelligent, and entertaining essays on motion picture history and film personalities that will delight every fan. The articles in this volume were originally published by the author in "Films In Review" (1955-1968), the distinguished magazine of motion picture history, and they have been completely revised, expanded, and updated with much new material. They cover a broad spectrum of memorable history - from the role of the movies in propagandizing World War I to vivid, behind-the-camera glimpses of Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin. The photographs (over 200 of them) of the personalities and their movies are the final touches that make this book one of the most expansive, authoritative, and enjoyable volumes of film history ever published.
