Seller's Description:
Fine. More Than Just a Kiss presents a collection of the greatest love movies, etched in the public's mind for their romantic stories featuring famous actors, framed in epic surroundings, and delivering memorable words. Fifty memorable films, from the black and white era to today, are handsomely presented and analysed in words and pictures. The book explains their enduring appeal, provides entertaining insight on the talent that made them, and points out little known but fascinating bits of their history. The sophisticated atmosphere of English Patient, elegiac style of Out of Africa, and pageantry of Shakespeare in Love. The book has plenty of star power provided by Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, Richard Gere, Hugh Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and others. And then there are the words that inspire the romance! From When Harry Met Sally, the Meg Ryan character captures the sad plight of wounded hearts on the rebound with "The first date back is always the toughest, Harry." And a non-sensual phrase from Casablanca somehow resonates forever with moviegoers as a romantic/tragic farewell in "Here's looking at you kid." ILLUSTRATIONS: 186 colour photographs.
