Ten Movies at a Time a Classic Movie Gift

Film historian John DiLeo’s latest book, Ten Movies at a Time, received new accolades. This time from the popular film blog Blonde at the Film. Entitled the Classic Movie Gift Guide, the post bullets Ten Movies at a Time as a great book on classic movies:

…a very accessible read perfect for those new to classic movies or buffs looking to brush up on their history.

From the advent of the talkies to the emergence of the ratings system, Ten Movies at a Time covers four decades of American movies, notably the glory days of the studio system, or, as it is more glamorously tagged, the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Through reviews of 350 representative films, author John DiLeo tells an alternative, idiosyncratic history of the movies, focusing on the trends, the sub-genres, the cultural and historical shifts, offering, in the process, the parallel story of America itself.
