About this product

Product Information

Hollywood's golden age is revealed from a different angle by this collection of advertising art. It depicts the posters created for promotion within the industry during the 1930s and 1940s, rather than the ones shown in the cinemas. See Rita Hayworth as she was photographed by Gilda (1946), and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers caught mid-air for Follow the Fleet (1936). Garbo, Gable, Tracy, Hepburn, and dozens more are featured in full-page or double-page four-colour spreads.

  • Glad I bought it

    Not just another movie fan book, this is a serious (Watson-Guptill) look at trade movie ads of the 'Golden Age' of Hollywood. Interesting artist bios in the back.

    Verified purchase: Yes

  • Great book on the history of Hollywood art

    This book gives a overview of the art styles of movie advertising over the years. The art work is well printed and artists are properly noted where possible. Nice reference book to have.
