Recenzii
Kultguys Keep website featured an extensive review of this title in February 2016. "A nostalgic treasure trove from cinemas Golden Age... The books authors, Mary Mallory and Karie Bible, have given each picture a lively caption that evokes the advertorial style that was commonplace in vintage magazines like Photoplay and Modern Screen. Its makes for a fun read, while the short bios provide some valuable trivia that movie buffs will lap up."
Each page of the book is crammed with glossy black and white and colour photographs with more stars than in the heavens as the old MGM adage goes, each page celebrating holidays beginning with New Year through to Christmas and everything in between including St. Patricks Day and 4th July, each represented by a separate chapter. What is clear is how twisted, bizarre and surreal some of these images are such as the smiling but sadistic Thanksgiving images silent star Mary Philbin sharpening her blade in front of a giant turkey. Few of these pictures, no matter how beautifully composed or shot are anything short of disturbed and at the very least kitsch. Rich in imagery but less in text this perfect coffee table is a nice soak to the brain. - Chris Hick Filmwerk.co.uk March 2016
