5.0 out of 5 stars A Reference for Movie Glamour in Black and White, 27 Jun 1998

By A Customer

OK. So, you already know who designed the costumes for My Fair Lady. But, you find yourself watching AMC one day and they're playing "The Manchurian Candidate" and halfway through the movie you remember that you forgot to look at the costuming credits. Well, you open the index to this nifty little reference book and find out that Moss Mabry not only designed the costumes for this movie but quite a few more. That he co-designed with Marjorie Best for Giant to win an Academy Award nomination, and so on...

There are some nifty pictures that accent this reference guide. So, in addition to the listings, you get photos of older and newer stars (I could swear that the photo of Norma Shearer from "The Waning Sex" is a Hurrell), and reproductions of designer illustrations.

I think I'll keep this one close to the VCR.

4.0 out of 5 stars illustrated dictionary of movie costume designers, 5 May 2003

By A Customer

Its amazing how many designers of movie costumes were not particularly well known. Excellent book for those interested in the background of film costume and students of design history. Many amazing photographs accompany these synopsis and hollywood buffs will appreciate the film and academy award listings. One of the more worthwhile books still in print.
