Description

The Movie Musical! by Jeanine Basinger is an in-depth exploration of Hollywood's singing and dancing world. With her trademark wit and authority, film historian Jeanine Basinger examines the history of musical cinema, from iconic stars like Fred Astaire to modern hits like La La Land. This beautifully illustrated book covers a dazzling array of stars, strategies, talents, and innovations in the history of musical cinema. Basinger analyzes classic routines, operettas, and hip-hop numbers, offering a canny and charismatic guide to the many ways that song and dance have been seen on film. The result is an astute, informative, and pure pleasure to read. From beloved films like Top Hat and Singin' in the Rain, to lesser-known gems like Whoopee! and Murder at the Vanities, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the world of musical cinema.
