Recenzje

Part analog database, part rollicking scavenger hunt (you can find nuggets like Henry Mancini's well-timed haircut, which led to the Peter Gunn theme and essentially Mancini's subsequent career, or Yul Brynner's surprising design skills), this fast-moving survey is a rich source of quick-fix facts, large-scale historical arcs, and more than a few enticing side trails for the rest of us to explore."
