520    "A celebration of cinema from the year 1939--a year film 
       critics and historians are virtually unanimous in 
       considering the greatest in the history of motion pictures
       --this work is the perfect combination of film history, 
       artistic appreciation, historical insight, and gossip. 
       Profiling of six of the greatest films of the year--Gone 
       with the Wind, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, 
       The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Adventures of 
       Huckleberry Finn, and The Wizard of Oz--the book shows, in
       detail, how these stories came into being and how long 
       they waited to find fame. It also describes the behind-the
       -scenes story of each film: how the stories were adapted 
       to a film script; the writers, producers, directors, 
       actors, and technicians who made the film; how the film 
       was received by critics and the public; and the later 
       careers of the people who made the film, with commentary 
       on such legendary stars as Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, 
       John Wayne, and Judy Garland. A must-have book that no 
       movie fan should miss, this work captures 1930s Hollywood-
       -an era which, in spite of being crass, commercial, 
       restrictive, and frequently dysfunctional, produced 
       immensely enjoyable films that are still watched with 
       pleasure today"--|cProvided by publisher.
