Review by: Mandy Apgar
An account of what many consider to be Hollywood's greatest year
as seen through the making of 6 of its films - Gone With the Wind, Wizard
of Oz, and others. It does a fairly good job of being accurate, which is
hard to do in this field, but it comes off as being very dry at times
and something else I can't quite put my finger on. Like when accounting
for the Wizard of Oz, making an emphasis on how unattractive Margaret
Hamilton was, or going on and on about James Stewart's wholesomeness,
etc. Perhaps the author plays his favorites too much.
