Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Nourmand, who owns London's Reel Poster Gallery, and Marsh, a designer and art director, have compiled a lovely array of posters from movies of the 1930s. Among the book's treasures are full-page reproductions of the poster for the French Wizard of Oz, with a gallant Dorothy strutting toward the Emerald City with her cartoonish sidekicks behind her; the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup, done in an abstract wash of color, with Groucho's signature cigar clearly visible; and It Happened One Night, which shows Clark Gable gazing longingly at the stunning Claudette Colbert. An introductory essay serves as the book's only text; after that, Nourmand and Marsh organize the posters loosely by genre: romance, adventure, comedy, war. Although the book lacks a table of contents, a rear index lists the 110 films alphabetically.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Movies of the Decade, Sep 13 2004
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Film Posters of the 30s: From the Reel Poster Gallery Collection (Paperback)
Take a gathering of classic movie posters from the Reel Poster Gallery collection, narrow the focus to film posters of the 1930s for maximum exposure, and cover films which helped alleviate the miseries of the Great Depression, then packaging it in an oversized paperback and you have Film Posters of the 1930s: The Essential Movies of the Decade, a work of art in and of itself. Over a hundred pages provide full-color reproductions of said posters, creating a book which excels in attractive presentation and reproductive quality.
