Book Presentation:
These dashing cinema stars were the heroes of many exciting films from silents to talkies and on to the later widescreen epics. Sometimes knighted by their king, but always embraced by their one true love, acclaimed by adoring peasants, these dashing cinema champions nevertheless worked their stirring derring-do adventures without proper recognition—until now. The athletic lineup includes Ronald Colman, Tony Curtis, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Errol Flynn, Stewart Granger, Victor Mature, Tyrone Power, and Cornel Wilde. Each of these durable leading men is showcased with an expansive chapter covering his professional and private life, as well as a detailed filmography.
