    Content: Insightful, witty, as exuberant as its subject matter, Dangerous Rhythm offers a fresh, revolutionary take on a uniquely American institution: the movie musical. In a book that is at once history, analysis, investigation, and meditation, noted film historian Richard Barrios takes on the entire musical spectrum, from Al Jolson and The Broadway Melody to hip-hop and Les Miserables. Over nine decades, the musical film has been a cornerstone of the entertainment world, yet its existence has been more erratic that any other type of film. Barrios delves deep into the genre, uncovering what makes it a commercially and artistically successful art form that, despite falling in and out of favor with the American public, has a firm and enduring hold on the American cultural imagination. Each chapter focuses on a core issue relating to the musical film: what does it take to make a successful musical performer? What is the relationship between film musicals and Broadway musicals? How does the rise of certain types of popular music, such as rock or rap, affect how the musical film is received? Through it all, Barrios argues definitively and irresistibly that, as the book's subtitle asserts, movie musicals matter - yet, as the title implies, they are terribly difficult to do well. But when they are right, they transport and captivate viewers, striking deeply resonant chords of identification and wish-fulfillment, as well as or better than any other kind of movie.

    Content: In this lively guide, Richard Barrios looks beyond the ballyhoo and legend at Monroe's best-known films, and some that even today remain obscure. Besides her films, it also addresses the work she did on television and the stage, as well as her underrated abilities as a vocalist. Both an informative study and a perceptive critical assessment, 'On Marilyn Monroe' gives this brilliant performer the attention she desired - that of an artist whose work deserves both examination and celebration.

    Content: Summary of the history of the story of Anna and the King starting from real events, through the book, film, stage play and musical. It uses B&W stills and footage from both the 1945 film Anna and the King of Siam (that starred Rex Harrison as the King and Irene Dunne) and the 1956 musical. Includes contributions from Steven Suskin (Broadway historian & author), Laurence Mason (Broadway historian), Richard Barrios (film historian & author), Ted Chapin & Bruce Pomahac (respectively, President & Director of Music, Rogers and Hammerstein Organisation) and Gemze de Lappe (Principal dancer in both Broadway & film versions) plus recordings of the voices of Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein. Much of this is fairly light weight although there is some very interesting ideas about the social implications in the Eisenhower era of The King and I being a plea for the US to understand other cultures.
