Kritik
"In the book, the author effectively shows the links between the past and present, and therefore the ethereal nature of stardom ... . Williams does so extremely successfully by examining studio portraiture, promotional materials, film texts and critical reception. ... However, what makes this book even more impressive is Williams' wealth of knowledge on the figures of the ancient past, thus he uses this in interesting and unique ways to explore the stars and their films." (Gillian Kelly, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, January 15, 2019)mehr
