The MGM short subjects of Ted Healy & His Stooges barely receive a mention, with their brief two-year contribution to the studio restricted to feature film synopses. But the history of MGM (@ 1975) remains fascinating, and the book presents a detailed history of the studio's history and heritage. From the book jacket...
"For the first time in one volume, the films produced and distributed by MGM are individually covered in text and pictures. Enter the gates of the MGM Studio, and relive the glamour and nostalgia from 1924 - 1975. Meet the stars and learn the details of their careers. Meet the producers and directors, writers and photographers that donned the MGM set.
The author has drawn on his 38 years at MGM to amass the history, the legends, and the inside stories. Finally there are many previously unpublished stills among the vast collection. Here is Hollywood at your fingertips."
- Reprinted in 1976 and 1977, and updated for the respective releases of those years, changing the film count in the book's subtitle, but otherwise kept the same cover art.
- The 1976 edition was also published in a softbound version.
- A 1990 reissue also updated for film releases thru that year, and revised the cover art.
(Refreshing the page will alternate the editions pictured.)
