THE BLUE BOOK OF HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS: Songs From The Soundtracks and The Stars Who Sang Them Since the Birth of the Talkies
by Burton, Jack
Watkins, Glen/New York: Century House, (1953). First edition. Illustrated with numerous stills. A sharp, fine copy in sky-blue linen with gilt titles to the spine; in a song-sheet illustrated dust jacket that shows some very slight edgewear (reinforced at spine head with a tiny piece of cellotape), and two quite innocuous, narrow vertical stripes of pale stain to rear panel. A sweet copy! Burton's quite irreplaceable reference book, tirelessly and lovingly compiled. Feature films with songs, western films with songs, and musicals are listed with credits for film companies, casts, stars, directors, musical numbers, song titles, song writers, and song lyricists. Some choice films are given a flushed-out history. Songs awarded the Oscar are also listed. Scarce, especially in such fresh condition in dust jacket. Octavo; 296 pages; index; errata.
