Excellent reference tool

I really enjoyed this book--It is filled with pictures and information about pretty much every film-musical since 1927 through the 70s. The only downfall, of course, is that it only goes through 1980, and misses nearly 2 decades of film musicals. There is a very comprehensive index in the back--one for titles of films, one for actors/actresses, and one for others involved in the films.
