From films from the first talking pictures to the present, these quotes are chosen for their eloquence, impact, wit... and, above all, fun. Some of the quotes are classic and instantly recognizable. Others are less well-known, but equally striking. The quotes are arranged in categories, which lends the book to use by those seeking light material for speeches and essays. And it's a mother lode for e-mail users seeking a distinctive signature line. A unique typographic scheme, combined with movie stills, turns this feast of words into a visual treat as well. It can be read from cover to cover, or sampled at random. An excellent gift item with obvious backlist potential.
