Summary: "John Kobal, the world's foremost film archivist, has amassed an unrivaled photographic treasure of Hollywood glamour portraits. As an author and noted film historian, he has also been a major force behind the tremendous revival of interest in the work of the great studio photographers such as George Hurrell, Ted Allan, Lazlo Willinger, and Clarence Sinclair Bull. The selection of photographs in this book extends from the mid-1930s to the 1950s, the period in which color photography became established in Hollywood, and contains 74 spectacular images of the major stars." -- BOOK JACKET
