Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-03 00:00:00 Sebastian yael Orozco nava Read it for a film essay I had to write on Singin' In The Rain and the evolution of Hollywood musicals. It had some good information, but wasn't my favorite book I read for the project.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-17 00:00:00 Phil Kos Interesting but dated of course, written in the 1970's. The composers interviewed are no longer with us, apart from John Williams, and it was a little too early yet for him to be associated with Steven Spielberg, so it felt like quite a lot was missing, Jaws, Indiana Jones, etc. Also the author seemed a bit paranoid at the time about pop music taking over from genuine film scores,although plenty of good film composers have come along in the intervening years to stop that happening. Plenty of opinions, which made it an interesting read, unlike another, more recent, book I read on the subject lately which was crammed with facts but somewhat dry.
