Customer Reviews

For anyone who loves movie musicals.

Roy Hemming has long demonstrated his knowledge of movies and music, and obviously loves the subject. He includes the Broadway shows that some of the movie musicals came from, often with no recognizable link, like "Fifty Million Frenchmen" by Cole Porter. Whether you've seen any of these films when they first came out, or if you're just learning of their charm and craft, this is a book to enjoy. -Elizabeth Ahlfors, CityCabaret
