Henry Bumstead and the World of Hollywood Art Direction by Andrew Horton, ISBN 0292705190
"Dear Bummy, You take the BS out of filmmaking!"--Clint Eastwood's comment on Henry Bumstead's receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Art Directors"Making a movie with Bummy was always a pleasure because it was like going to work with a good friend who also had a fine, artistic eye, who shared your vision, and who knew infinitely more about the practical nuts-and-bolts business of putting a story on camera than you did. . . . Everything he designed served the movie. He knew how to visually bring it to life."--Robert MulliganFrom a hotel in Marrakech in The Man Who Knew Too Much, to small-town Alabama in To Kill a Mockingbird, to Mission Control in Space Cowboys, creating a fictional, yet wholly believable world in which to film a movie has been the passion and life's work of Henry Bumstead, one of Hollywood's most celebrated production designers. In a career that has spanned nearly seventy years, Bumstead has worked on more than one hundred movies and television films. His many honors include Academy Awards for Art Direction for To Kill a Mockingbird and The Sting, as well as nominations for Vertigo and The Unforgiven. This popularly written and extensively illustrated book tells the intertwining stories of Henry Bumstead's career and the evolution of Hollywood art direction. Andrew Horton combines his analysis of Bumstead's design work with wide-ranging interviews in which Bumstead talks about working with top directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, George Roy Hill, Robert Mulligan, and Clint Eastwood, as well as such stars as Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Doris Day, Jimmy Stewart, Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, Jerry Lewis, andJames Cagney. Numerous production drawings, storyboards, and film stills illustrate how Bumstead's designs translated to film.

A Talent for Genius: The Life and Times of Oscar Levant by Sam Kashner, ISBN 1879505398
Oscar Levant was the Amadeus of Hollywood, the Oscar Wilde of Broadway - and the most wildly self-destructive personality ever to become a household name. An astonishingly gifted concert pianist, composer, film and stage presence, radio and television raconteur, insult wit, and bestselling author, Levant steered a maniacally masochistic course through seven glorious decades. His death in 1972, at the age of sixty-five, left the entertainment community shocked - largely with amazement that a four-pack-a-day smoker with a history of drug abuse and mental illness had lasted as long as Levant did. He made a national reputation for himself in the late 1930s as a brash, brilliant "expert" on radio's famed quiz show Information, Please!, and as a fine concert pianist and the premier interpreter of George Gershwin's concert works. He appeared in thirteen films, usually as a best friend/"Oscar Levant" type. He played Gene Kelly's sidekick in An American in Paris and a lovable hypochondriac in The...

Magic Vs. Bird - The 1979 NCAA Championship Game (Full Frame)
The Magic-Bird show is born. Everybody wanted it. Everybody was talking about it. And more people watched it unfold on national television than any college game before or since. On March 26, 1979, in the Special Events Center at the University of Utah, Magic Johnson squared off against Larry Bird for the first time. One year later, they would take their show to the NBA. But on this night the dream showdown between the two best players in the country was on college basketball's grandest stage-the NCAA Championship game. Indiana State, the lesser known school in the Hoosier State, came into the contest riding a 33-game winning streak thanks to the extraordinary skills of Bird. Johnson was just as impressive, and Michigan State had other college standouts alongside him such as the high flying Greg Kesler, hot shooting Terry Donnelly and the powerful Jay Vincent. The great efforts and teamwork of Bird, Bobby Heaton, Carl Nix and the rest of the Sycamores kept them competitive, but in the end...

Lang
A man makes a phone call to his best friend in the middle of the night. He needs help, he says...oh, and he also needs to borrow a heavy-duty shovel. Christian Lang's story--"from one of Scandinavia's most acclaimed new noir writers--"is one of obsession, both physical and emotional. A famous novelist and television show host, Lang wants to keep secret his affair with the enchanting Sarita, but she has her own reasons for keeping quiet too. Lang finds himself caught up in a sinister love triangle with Sarita and her psychotic ex-husband. He knows that his life is in danger, but so great is Lang's passion for Sarita that he is unable to stay away. As he is drawn further into a web of lust, lies, and violence, his judgment becomes increasingly wayward. Lang is a compelling story about the power of passion to override every emotion, even fear.
