Rezensionen
"Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-and upper-division undergraduates; general readers."
"Barry Grant gracefully articulates the pleasures of that most joyous of Hollywood's genres. A must read for anyone who loves musicals and, especially, for those who think they don't."
-David Desser, University of Illinois
"Elegantly conceived and beautifully illustrated, The Hollywood Film Musical introduces the genre with all its problematic glories. Grant is meticulous as a historian and scrupulous as a cultural critic. Did I mention the beautiful illustrations?"
-Krin Gabbard, Stony Brook University
