The author analyzes the changing trends an styles that have shaped the Hollywood musical over more than five decades: the kaleidoscopic visions of Busby Berkeley; the stylish elegance of Vincente Minelli; the bold cinematic imagination of Bob Fosse; and the efforts of all the gifted people behind and in front of the camera. The legendary stars of the musical film ar all present in their imperishable glory: those "sweethearts of the silver screen," Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, the peerless dance team of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, ardently singing of their deathless love; Judy Garland, with her trobbing voice and poignant vulnerability; Gene Kelly, irrepressible dancing out his love affair with life; the electrifying presence of Elvis Presley -- and all the performers who ever sang, tapped, or cavorted their way through a musical film, from Al Jolson to John Travolta." 420 illustrations including 110 plates in full color. 384 pp. Pages are clean, tight & unmarked.
