The 30s is the fascinating story, told with words and more than 500 pictures, of the decade that witnessed the motion picture industry survive its first clumsy grappling with the sound film and produce an astonishment assortment of spectacularly fine features. It recounts history and stories of the top pictures and giving vignettes of individual actors, actresses, and directors--the films they made, how they lived and worked and how they fought with the tycoons who run the giant studios. This retrospective of the golden era of motion pictures is fun to leaf through. The 30s gives a clear picture of a decade in which motion pictures matured from a budding entertainment business into a stylized art form. It is a glimpse into that glittering era that made the word Hollywood synonymous with glamour.
