About This Item
Cranbury: A.S. Barnes and Co., Inc, 1977. Hardcover. New/Very good. Mostly known for low-budget Westerns and serials, Republic Pictures, active from 1935-1959, also made a lesser number of higher quality films. Written years after the studio's closing, this book recounts the Republic story by highlighting its films' leading ladies, including Barbara Stanwyck, Maureen O'Hara, Ethel Barrymore, and Rita Hayworth. As Thomas Burnett Swan writes in the introduction, "The Heroine or the Horse is a tribute to some of the finest actresses and greatest beauties of Hollywood; it is also, I hope, a partial but accurate history of the studio where they worked." The book features 130 black and white photos of the actresses and stills from the movies. A wonderful gift book for old movie buffs and fans of the golden age of Hollywood.
