Hard Cover. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Graham Pilsworth (illustrator). First Edition 1st Printing. BOOK: Corners, Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SUB-TITLE: Wit and Wisdom of the Moviemakers. SYNOPSIS: A book for anyone who enjoys movies and appreciates "quotable quotes," Colombo's Hollywood presents some 3000 glittering and hilarious remarks made through the years by some of our most glamorous and gutsy movie personalities. The cast includes the film world's leading figures: superstars, actors and actresses, supporting players, producers, directors - even reviewers and critics. You'll find them all here: Bogart and Brando; Davis, Crawford and Bergman; Clift and the Fondas; Newman and Redford; Monroe, Mae West and the Gabors - even the silents speak. With a minimum of direction from the editor, they speak their minds about their art and craft; about life, love, sex and marriage about money, fame, looks and growing old; about their hopes and fears. Their words reveal the popcorn and paradise inseparable from life in Hollywood and the whole world of filmmaking. They also contain the trivia and treasure, the illusions and ideals, the aspirin and aspirations that make up - in one way or another - all our lives and suggest that the moviemakers are human just like the rest of us. With original illustrations by Graham Pilsworth throughout, special added attractions are two chapters devoted to the magnificent malapropisms of Sam Goldwyn and to favorite movie moments from 1916 to 1979. Lights! Camera! . . . John Robert Colombo is known nationally as a "master gatherer." His many popular anthologies and collections include Colombo's Canadian Quotations (1974), Colombo's Canadian References (1976) and Colombo's Book of Canada (1978). He has also compiled Canada's first handbook of nicknames and sobriquets, Colombo's Names and Nicknames (1978), and its first anthology of science fiction and fantasy, Other Canadas (1979). A recent work, Mostly Monsters (1977), poems "found" in film scenarios and horror books, prompted Ray Bradbury to comment: "We are twins." Colombo was born in Kitchener, Ontario, the son of an industrial motion-picture producer. A graduate of the University of Toronto, he has written a column on film for The Canadian Forum. He attended the Stratford International Film Festival as an adjudicator and, as a journalist, the Ottawa Films on Art Festival. He has never seen Hollywood-except on the screen.
