Description de l'ouvrage :
Exploring musical theater on film for fans of the genre, Listen to Movie Musicals! focuses on 50 must-hear movie musicals featured in the United States.

In this book, 50 movies featured for critical analysis include many of the best-known film musicals of the past and present, from The King and I to La La Land. The list also includes several important movie musicals that were popular successes that are not necessarily on the "best-of" lists in other books. This volume also includes a greater focus on the actual music of movie musicals than do most other books, making it a stand-out title on the topic for high school and college readers.

This volume includes a background chapter on musical theater, followed by 50 important essays on must-hear movie musicals. The author also explains the impact of movie musicals on popular culture and the legacy of movie musicals further explain the impact of both the movies and their songs.
