About This Item
London: Virgin Books. Very Good/Very Good. 1992. First UK Edition. Hard Cover. Sm 4to 1852273895 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Green cloth with bright silver titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 204 pages clean and tight. Movies have always reflected the morals, the hopes, and the dreams of the public. Into this larger-than-life medium, we project our wildest fantasies and our deepest desires. Movies shape our ideas about love and romance. In Annie Hall, Woody Allen says: "You're always trying to get things to come out perfectly in art because it's real difficult in life. " Throughout the history of the movies, certain couples have captured our imagination: Garbo and Gilbert, Tracy and Hepburn, Loy and Powell, Bogart and Bacall, Taylor and Burton. Great screen couples project glamour, lust, romance, temptation, adventure, and much more. Thousands of screen couples exist but only a handful have achieved immortality. What makes a great screen couple? According to author Linda Sunshine, the essential elements include equality of the sexes, a single romantic ideal, and that elusive "star quality". That criteria was more than fulfilled by the couples in this book: Astaire and Rogers. Harlow and Gable, Garland and Rooney, and Allen and Farrow, among many others. The text is enhanced with hundreds of extraordinary movie stills; some never before seen in publication, all lavishly reproduced in black and white duotone. Lovers is a rare and vibrant celebration of the actors and actresses who have personified and glorified our romantic fantasies over the last six decades. In the end, though, this book, like the movies it represents, serves as a lasting tribute to lovers everywhere. .
