The late Stanley Green was one of the first serious musical theatre historians, and this book was his labor of love. We are proud to present an updated edition of his authoritative compendium of the greatest film musicals ever made. Elaine Schmidt has added 23 entries to the 1990 edition, including: Beauty and the Beast; The Bodyguard; Evita; The Lion King; The Preacher`s Wife; Sister Act; and more. Each entry includes all of the pertinent facts about a film, and a brief essay about the plot and production. This fabulous reference book includes hundreds of black & white stills, and several thorough indexes.
