  Containing stories, statistics, firsts , anecdotes and quotes, this is the fifth edition of a reference book on facts and feats from cinema history. It addresses topics such as how Frankestein's monster got the bolts through his neck, Hollywood's most expensive film, why Vivien Leigh had to wear her dress inside-out in Gone With the Wind , and what the queen of Hollywood (Marilyn Monroe) said to the Queen of England. The book has been updated and expanded to include recent information on film awards, highest-paid stars, biggest budgets and outstanding box-office successes - and flops - as well as exposing classic blunders, odd forms of censorship, and the mud-slinging of some of the top stars.
