Loving and analytical deep dive into Stanwyck

Revisado: 07-26-19

I loved this book! I was wary because I saw a review that said it was mostly a filmography, but I am so glad I took a chance on it anyway. It has much more information than the other Stanwyck offering available on Audible by Charles River Editors. The author clearly enjoys and admires Stanwyck, and that's what took this book from "good" to "delightful" for me. The book discussed her personal life as well as her movies, and went into a lot of film, scene, director, and acting choice analysis, which was really interesting! The author would contrast Stanwyck's performance with how other actresses of the day would have played it, and I appreciated the analysis. I also found a lot of the descriptions of directors and their competence humorous. The book really seems like a love letter to Stanwyck and old movies. Great author, and great narration! If you enjoy film, particularly film history, you will enjoy this.
