The American Film Musical

The American Film Musical

Editorial Reviews
Library Journal
" . . . an important addition to both literature and film collections. . . . a landmark study."

The Times Literary Supplement
"The American Film Musical is a truly admirable book which is well worth making a song and dance about. It will immediately assume biblical authority for all who are seriously interested in the dream-factory's most lavish fantasies, and it may even come to stand as a landmark in our understanding of Hollywood as a whole. . . . Altman's book is thorough, well informed and warmly good-humored. It has brought the study of musical films out of the dark ages."
