The rendition relates history and stories from 1894 onward through the 1970s. There are references to "Intolerance and Birth of a Nation", the 1930s comedies, "High Noon", the "Magnificent Seven" and "Easy Rider". Vivian Leigh is shown in the classic- "Gone With The Wind". A memorable picture is depicted from "All about Eve" with a common photo of Anne Baxter, Marilyn Monroe and George Sanders. A majestic picture of Charlton Heston is depicted in the character of Major Dundee. In addition, there are memorable scenes from Love Story, Carnal Knowledge and the Summer of '42. This book would make a perfect student project for classes in American History, Film or the Arts.
