Reviews
"Not only do we see the movie being made; we see the photographer at work, too. If he or she's been shooting fast, the repetitions almost constitute a stop-motion echo of the movie itself-kind of a rough draft, or even a proto-GIF. You can see, and almost hear, the ratchet-click of the hand and eye at work, shooting and winding, shooting and winding, as the lens roves the set-and gradually noses in on the one frame that captures it all." - New York Magazine, "Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about your favorite film-every beat and every line-this book is a good reminder that Old Hollywood can still surprise us."- Frontiers Magazine, "The insight into the 71 films that are featured makes for fascinating reading and is a terrific addition to the often-unguarded moments that are captured on film." - North Shore News

Synopsis
There is a voyeuristic thrill in contact sheets, the direct prints used by photographers of the pre-digital age to edit their work. You look directly through the photographer's eyes as each photo gets closer to that perfect shot. And yet, it's often the photos not chosen that best capture the true spirit of their subjects and the life they lead after the director yells cut. This was never truer than in the classic Hollywood era, where behind-the-scenes photos were carefully vetted for marketing purposes and unapproved shots were never expected to be seen again. Hollywood Frame by Frame presents hundreds of never-before-published photos from the sets of some of the greatest films of the twentieth century. Hollywood's biggest stars are caught with their guard down behind the scenes of movie classics from Some Like It Hot and Breakfast at Tiffany's to Taxi Driver and The Silence of the Lambs . A treasure trove for any fan of Hollywood's Golden Age, this rare glimpse of the unseen silver screen will intrigue even movie buffs who think they've seen everything., There is a voyeuristic thrill in contact sheets, the direct prints used by photographers of the pre-digital age to edit their work.
