Meer over het boek

The Pyramid Illustrated History of the Movies is a series of volumes that offers a comprehensive overview and brings a fresh perspective to the influential figures, forms, and styles in the development of motion pictures. Each lavishly illustrated volume has been designed to stimulate the interest of the student for whom film is an art, and to stir the memories of the fan for whom "going to the movies" will always be an exhilarating experience. -- Whether dancing merrily down a rain-soaked street, courting Judy Garland or Leslie Caron with a blithe song and infectious grin, or just leaping nimbly into space, Gene Kelly epitomizes joy inconfined for every movie-goer. Jeanine Basinger's profusely illustrated book covers the career of this irresistible song-and-dance man and brings back the treasured moments he has given us for thirty years.
