In his lovely Introduction, Herb Yellin explains that this tribute to film and fi/makers was a decade in the making, and started out as a tribute to his favorite movies.

This book is in many ways like a film course taught by some of the world's greatest critics, authors. and writers. Most of the one-sheets in the book were owned by longtime Hollywood specialty publisher Yellin and are signed by the stars. There are also dozens of rare, gorgeous B&W photos of movie legends.
