Twentieth Century Fox

This was a great look at the "old" hollywood system and history. Loved it!

Perfect for any movie buff, this book provides a fascinating look at one of Hollywood's most famous studios, Twentieth Century Fox. It's filled with photographs and stories that are sometimes as entertaining as some of the movies this studio has produced.

This would make a great coffee table book for anyone interested in the history of the entertainment industry and especially the early days of Fox. The book features a lot of never before seen pictures of the studio and behind the scenes, plus great information about the start of the studio, the atmosphere and the celebrities. I do not recommend it in ebook format, definitely splurge on the hardcover.

I grew up near movie sets so this book was a great thrill for me to read. I had the opportunity to tour most of them many years ago when movies were made realistically without computers and with real sets. I remember the sets of the past and much of what movie making was years ago is long lost except to memories. I so enjoyed revisiting this great history here and the photographs were beautiful. The history of the studio and its greats are all here, remembered with the important contribution they made to movies. This is sweeping history of Twentieth Century Fox one of the first great studios . Its also a vivid look at the past of movies, a past long lost but not forgotten by many of us. For those of us with movies in our blood, this is a must read . I purchased one for my home book collection and will give it as gifts . This is epic in scope, a must read and a delight from cover to cover. Thank you to the authors for your attention to detail, exquisite history of the studio and your research.
Thank you with gratitude for the ARC which did not influence my review.

Thoroughly researched tome on the seldom remembered movie studio
