Description
A unique gathering of still photographs taken on the sets of classic movies from the silent era to the 1960s, In the Picture gives a rare glimpse of Hollywood at work. Highlighting the energy, glamour, and challenge of a film set, these production stills from the TCM archives - the largest and most celebrated film library in the world - collect fine and telling moments of celluloid history from the great studio productions, including many from MGM, Warner Bros., and RKO. An impressive collection of photographs of the sets from classic films from the '30s through the '60s, In the Picture provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood magic. Taken from Turner's vast archive, this book features production stills from over 130 timeless films - Ben-Hur, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and Wizard of Oz - as well as images of the actors between takes, working with directors and cast members. In the Picture captures beloved movie moments both in front of and behind the camera.
