The short subjects of Columbia barely receive a mention, with the Stooges' contribution to the studio mostly restricted to their mention in feature film synopses. But the history of Columbia remains interesting, and the book presents a detailed history of their home studio's history and heritage.
From the book jacket...
"In this overdue tribute to the most underrated of all studios, entertainment historian Rochelle Larkin recalls all the great movies and stars that came from there; nutty comedies like 20th CENTURY; social dramas like DEATH OF A SALESMAN and THE LAST HURRAH; neat little melodramas starring Ralph Bellamy, Richard Dix and Jack Holt; outstanding film biographies; Frank Capra's classics IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN and LOST HORIZON; and recent influential movies like FIVE EASY PIECES and EASY RIDER that have sparked new film trends.
Whether recalling the origins of Columbia, or analyzing the special magic of Oscar winners like ALL THE KING'S MEN, this anniversary volume is a profusely illustrated blend of nostalgia, movie lore and witty reporting. With 12 appendices, including an alphabetical listing of more than 1600 Columbia movies."
