Double Exposure, Take Three

Folio hardcover 256pp index, b/w illus. very good / good torn, (loose) d/w. Inscribed by author. From Publishers WeeklynIn his third volume of celebrity photographs, the film star, now also a professional photographer, once again pairs photos of each subject with comments by a well-known acquaintance. "A grand old shoe," says Alice Faye of Don Ameche, and Lauren Bacall finds Alistairsp correct Cooke "awe-inspiring." Similar kudos come from Stanley Kramer on Maximilian Schell ("unbelievable"), Ronald Reagan on Bob Hope (a "master showman") and Anne Bancroft on Patricia Neal ("a true gentlewoman"), to name a few. McDowall uses a variety of techniques--extreme close-up, highlighting, distortion, oversize settings--to characterize his 102 subjects, most often shown with the severely candid, unglamorous miens of ordinary people. Fans of the two earlier volumes will not be disappointed. nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
