Description
Journal of Popular Films and Television
"The American Film Musical is a truly admirable book which is well worth making a song and dance about. It will immediately assume biblical authority for all who are seriously interested in the dream-factory's most lavish fantasies, and it may even come to stand as a landmark in our understanding of Hollywood as a whole. . . . Altman's book is thorough, well informed and warmly good-humored. It has brought the study of musical films out of the dark ages." Times Literary Supplement
" . . . an important addition to both literature and film collections. . . . a landmark study."
Library Journal
"Altman's important study of the American film musical combines genre theory with film criticism and history. . . . Recommended . . . " Choice

Altman's unique interweaving of theory, history, and criticism represents an original and challenging contribution to film studies. Illustrated with over 200 frame enlargements and production stills.
