What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[An] excellent book. Author Arnold distills why each movie is a must-see, and augments his knowledgeable text with sidebar quotes from various TCM hosts… Handsomely designed and packed with great photos, The Essentials would be a perfect gift for a young person who’s just dipping his or her toe into these waters…but I found it equally appealing.” –Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com “An entertaining read… Beautifully-designed and illustrated… Author Jeremy Arnold does a superb job presenting the reasons why a particular film matters.” –Raymond Benson, Cinema Retro
