Indexed. 448 pp. FROM THE DUST JACKET: "Hard to believe, but it was only yesterday when Hollywood's films were considered ambassadors for the American way of life. Those films featured many fine actors who represented the best America had to offer; among them, seven outstanding performers. Somehow or another, these severn men captured the essence of America. Was it their laconic, low-key, almost shy emoting? Or was it the sort of role they usually played: a hero without heroics, quietly going about his business? Just what was the secret of their 'All American cinema presence'? To answer these questions, award-winning film scholars James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke viewed several hundred films, studied in detail the careers of these seven actors, unearthed a wealth of rich data. The result: a long overdue study of seven Hollywood worthies, perhaps the last of the genus Cinematus Americanas; the cleancut American guy who could always be depended upon to do the right thing.and still ride off into the sunset with the heroine. With 250 photographs and 537 filmographies in depth, these seven studies are definitive." ABOUT THE AUTHORS (from the dustjacket):James Robert Parish, over the 1970's established himself as the foremost chronicler of Hollywood's Golden Era.

Mr. Parish is the author of Hollywood's Great Love Teams, The RKO Gals, The Fox Girls, The Paramount Pritties, The Tough Guys, Hollywood Character Actors, and nine other valuable film works.Don E.
