The only book that compiles her filmography in detail
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I would like to give the author credit for a good job at compiling all her films with descriptive categories and contemporaneous critical reviews, both favorable and not so favorable. Just for that effort this book is worthwile to buy. It has a biography of her which may be too long for an introduction or too short for a full biography. I get the impression that the author wanted to portray to the reader a summary of her life through the films compiled here, as obectively as possible. There are other books if one is interest in a complete biography. This is a good compilation of her work.There are some pictures not seen in other publications. Especially I would like to mention pictures from "How to steal a million" and "Two for the Road". They are the best of her Mod-ish look. Especially, the one on pp. 188 that shows her face half in the dark is a superb piece of art. Also, it includes beautiful images of her with a dark coat and a beret from the last scenes of the much overlooked film "The Children's Hour."One complaint about this book is the poor quality of its binding. Already pages are coming loose. It should have been hard-bound. But still this is the ony compilation of her films.
