Reviews

"McCarty's massive book testifies to his extensive effort to identify composers who have written musical scores for motion pictures in the US, 1911-70, and to uncover the proper authorship of these scores. McCarty should be commended for giving credit where credit is due. Valuable for film and music researchers at all levels."--Choice
"A definitive record of film music's beginnings and its Golden Age of the 40's and 50;s. McCarty's book is a treasure trove- and one...fans ought to delve into with eagerness." Soundtrack Magazine
