Book Presentation:
This is the first book to describe in considerable detail every musical produced by Universal Pictures during the seminal period between 1928, when it produced the very first all-talking full-length musical, to 1948 when its greatest singing star, Deanna Durbin, retired. During that period the studio produced more than 130 musicals.
Arranged chronologically by release date, entries include pertinent facts, production information, major cast members, plot synopsis, publicity promotions (when available), and quotes from reviews of the time. A few of the musicals included are Melody of Love (1928), Top of the Town (1937), Argentine Nights (1940) and One Touch of Venus (1948).
