Depending on when we were born we all probably have ...By Douglas WellmanDepending on when we were born we all probably have a different opinion of the Golden Age of Hollywood. This book tells the story of my particular era through the history of one of the earliest surviving film studios in America; Paramount. Told in pictures; we see the evolution of the art from the 40s; the revolution of the art in the 60s and 70s and the corporate driven art we see today. This is a pictorial wonderland for film lovers and a fitting historical tribute to Paramount.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
