Hammer Glamour
by
Marcus Hearn
Over fifty years ago, with the release of The Curse of Frankenstein and Christopher Lee in Dracula, Hammer ushered in a whole new era of blood and barely restrained cleavage in glorious colour, mixing sex and horror with a style and panache that made the small British company world famous.

Awesome. Hearn profiles 50 of the main female players in Hammer film history in this huge, gorgeous book packed with tons of stills, poster art, and images from the films. My only complaint-- and I realize this was more my expectation and not really part of the scope of the book-- is that there's no real info on the costume and makeup designers who helped create the amazing wardrobes and looks for the actresses.

There have been many books written about the male leads of Hammer films. This one finally gives the girls their due. Beautiful stills and behind the scenes shots add the glamour, but it's the interviews and biographies that give the book heart. If you are a Hammer fan, and have a soft spot for the smart girl hiding behind that bombshell persona you should pick this up.
