No bigger fad swept across postwar radio than that of the hard-boiled private detective - and nobody had more fun with their wink-and-nudge take on the genre than the producers, writers, and cast of The Adventures of Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's legendary private eye had a sardonic sense of humor, which wavy-haired, rugged-voiced Howard Duff played to perfection.

Before there was "tourism" and souvenir ashtrays became "kitsch", the Lake of the Ozarks was a Shangri-La for middle-class Midwestern families on vacation, complete with man-made beaches, Hillbilly Mini Golf, and feathered rubber tomahawks. It was there that author Bill Geist spent summers in the '60s during his school and college years working at Arrowhead Lodge - a small resort owned by his bombastic uncle - in all areas of the operation, from cesspool attendant to bellhop.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Entertaining, fast read/listen. Hearing this tale of youth at a resort in the 60's is fascinating, and nostalgic. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a glimpse into life in 1960's middle America.

As a teenager, Mallory O’Meara was thrilled to discover that one of her favorite movies, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, featured a monster designed by a woman, Milicent Patrick. But for someone who should have been hailed as a pioneer in the genre, there was little information available. For, as O’Meara soon discovered, Patrick’s contribution had been claimed by a jealous male colleague, her career had been cut short, and she soon after had disappeared from film history. No one even knew if she was still alive.

An honest bio about a fascinating talent
Revisado: 03-06-19
As an unapologetic fan of The Creech and its creator, Ms. Patrick, I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed this bio by Ms. O'Meara. She presents a rounded story of a woman who not only survived at a time when females were viewed as helpers and gofers for the male movie makers if the era, but because of her talent and will she prospered.
A truly wonderful, fast and satisfying read.

Acclaimed biographer Donald Spoto explores the roots of Hitchcock’s obsessions - with food, murder, and idealized love, among others - and traces the origins of his incomparable, bizarre genius, from his childhood and education to the golden years of his career. Based on interviews with his writers, actors, and longtime associates, and on exhaustive research, The Dark Side of Genius is the definitive biography of Alfred Hitchcock.

A must have for the Hitchcock fan. Well presented. A life like no other. The Man and the Myth.
