Customer Reviews

Know who your “reel” friends are.

You see them everywhere, but do you know them? Here is an opportunity to put a name with the face and maybe find a new old movie or two. More fun is the emergence of TV programs on DVD. Now you do not only know Sam Jaffee from “Shangri-La, but also as Dr. Zorba in “Ben Casey.” The book is inclusive of twelve actors from our past: Elisha Cook, Iris Adrian, Sam Jaffe, Beulah Bondi, Fritz Feld, John Qualen, Charles Lane, Anita Garvin, John Carradine, Rolfe Sedan, Byrt Mustin, and George Chandler. We get a general bio and filmography on each character with several black and white photos that include other characters on their periphery. This is a more in-depth concentration than the “Filmfax” magazine.
