Review:
Roy Hemming wrote about movies, music, and the media for more than thirty years. His other books include Discovering Great Music-A New Listener's Guide to the Top Classical Composers and Their Masterworks and, with David Hajdu, Discovering Great Singers of Classic Pop, both published by Newmarket Press.
A unique and highly valuable work. . . . An authentic guide to an important aspect of American musical creativity in films. -- Adolph Green
An absolutely lovely guide and everything a fan could desire from a critical and cultural historian, including good sense and great taste. These are the classic composers-Hollywood immortals all-whose songs come back like a lump in the throat or a big bloomy feeling in the chest. . . . Hemming examines not only the film scores but their Broadway originals when there was one, what got dropped, what survived, and what new was added. -- Kirkus Reviews
An outstanding, accurate and joyful exploration of the work of the great songwriters for Hollywood's great musicals! . . . I love this book. -- Michael Feinstein
Roy Hemming displays the racy phrasemaking of a '30s lyricist. . . . A buoyant book, a crystallization in print of the frothy elegance that characterizes musicals at their best. -- Smithsonian Magazine
