It ignited in me a desire to play some part of this huge production . Lights , camera , action ! Many fascinating jobs at work in creating a film . I love the idea of such strong collaboration coming together for a single master piece . The book reminded me of a time , albeit a short period in my life , where I was bound and determined to become a film choreographer . The volume of a old photographs really made this book come alive and gave me a feeling of nostalgia .

A quick introduction to the movies covering actors, directors, owners, technology, and just about everything concerning the industry. Something that would be good for middle-school aged kids, but I enjoyed many of the pictures. Certainly not in depth, but fun to flip through. As are many TL volumes. One can easily get through this in about an hours. I was amazed by how many of the movies depicted I had seen.
