The Great Movie Stars

I have always enjoyed this book, but I feel Mr Shipman could have done a similar book on Silent Stars. Unfortunately, like too many authors he despises the thing that he says he admires. The silent era is crying out for a similar detailed account of the actors who made the film industry what it is today. Another criticism is that there are too many personal opinions which sometimes border on snobbery. It is wrong to judge stars of the twenties and thirties with the attitudes of today. The film star industry started with Florence Lawrence and so should all books on films.


An excellent guide to the stars that made the cinema golden.

Mr. Shipman has put together the definitive guide to the stars that made their mark before WW II. From Abbott and Costello to Roland Young this book covers most of the major stars. If you buy only one reference book on vintage Hollywood's greatest make it this one. You won't be sorry
