Product Description
From Library Journal
When hearing or reading actress June Allyson's name, a big smile appears on this reviewer's face, and soon, that "MGM, everything is going to be alright" feeling follows. Readers of Forties Film Talk will get that same feeling as they read McClelland's oral tribute to the stars on and behind the screen. Many greats, near-greats, could-have-beens, and should-have-beens share their insights into what made 1940s Hollywood what it was. Each contributor relates a special memory of films, important or not, made during this decade. Readers will find that this book serves as an excellent reference guide when watching movies from the Forties. For large cinema history collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This man loves the movies!!, Sep 2 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Forties Film Talk: Oral Histories of Hollywood, With 120 Lobby Posters (Hardcover)
This is the kind of book movies buffs absolutely love, written with affection by an excellent writer. The color inserts of "B" lobby cards from the 1940's are gorgeous. The author, a regular contributor to FILMS OF THE GOLDEN AGE and CLASSIC IMAGES, has to rank up their with Leonard Maltin, Lawrence Quirk, William Everson, etc. as one of our very best movie historians.
