Meer over het boek

Dorothy's ruby slippers. Michael Myers' hockey mask. Marilyn Monroe's billowy white dress. Indiana Jones' trusty fedora. These objects are synonymous with the films they appear in. These so-called screengems have become icons of popular culture, and, at long last, a book has come along that sorts and chronicles fifty of them. This book presents an incisive discussion of fifty of the most significant objects in cinema history and explores these items' importance within their respective films and the popular imagination. Composed of selections from the popular 'Screengem' feature in 'Big Picture' magazine, this book surveys objects from a range of genres, from the birth of cinema to the present day
