"""Sergi's scholarly insights and Rydstrom's unique love and professional knowledge of sound (along with his wonderfully dry sense of humor) create a truly unusual and rich take on the history of the film industry - while at the same time, giving us an eccentric perspective on world historical events that laid the rollercoaster tracks for Hollywood's ups and downs. Film and history buffs alike will enjoy the read!"" --Brenda Chapman, Writer/Director for Disney/Pixar's Brave and co-director for Prince of Egypt, USA"
