Frankie Avonlea, a once-famous child television star, is set to make the biggest show business comeback since John Travolta (before Battlefield:Earth, that is.) Or, so says his comically shady talent agent MURRAY SILVERBERG. Murray has booked Frankie to headline a comedy/variety show at a recently rebuilt — but still not A1 condition — dinner theater, much to the chagrin of Frankie's show-business wife, ANNE KONDA. As a way of putting Anne's concerns to rest — as well as to protect his investment in Frankie's talent — Murray hires JAKE BULLET, a deadly-serious (almost to the point of absurdity) bodyguard. Jake's job is to ensure that the show goes off without a hitch, as well as to make sure that Frankie stays safely out of the spotlight until the time is right. Unfortunately for Jake and all concerned, Frankie turns up dead just as the spotlight comes upon him at the show's final dress rehearsal. It then becomes Jake's duty to determine who could have caused Frankie's star to fall — permanently. His task is made all the more confusing — and hilarious — by the fact that his chief suspects are the people closest to Frankie. Apart from Murray and Frankie's wife, Anne, there's LANCE BOYLE, a young up-and-upcoming talent who, it seems, will do anything to become a star — and for whom Anne has developed a voracious sexual appetite! Could it possibly be MISS KELLY, Murray Silverberg's trusted assistant who seems to know more about business management than Murray himself? Or what about CAROL HINGLE, an obsessed fanatic with her own Frankie Avonlea-related web site and more information about him than any normal human should be concerned with? Jake's investigation into Frankie's death takes the audience on several harrowing — and hilarious — twists as he attempts to salvage his reputation by solving the mystery of Frankie Avonlea's murder. So, whodunit? Only the killer knows for sure!

From D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation in 1915 to the recent Get Out, audiences and critics alike have responded to racism in motion pictures for more than a century. Whether subtle or blatant, racially biased images and narratives erase minorities, perpetuate stereotypes, and keep alive practices of discrimination and marginalization. Even in the 21st century, the American film industry is not “color blind,” evidenced by films such as Babel (2006), A Better Life, (2011), and 12 Years a Slave (2013). The Encyclopedia of Racism in American Film documents one facet of racism in the film industry, wherein historically underrepresented peoples are misrepresented—through a lack of roles for actors of color, stereotyping, negative associations, and an absence of rich, nuanced characters. Offering insights and analysis from over seventy scholars, critics, and activists, the volume highlights issues such as: Hollywood’s diversity crisis White Savior films Magic Negro tropes The disconnect between screen images and lived realities of African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asians A companion to the ever-growing field of race studies, this volume opens up a critical dialogue on an always timely issue. The Encyclopedia of Racism in American Film will appeal to scholars of cinema, race and ethnicity studies, and cultural history.

Dubbed "The Dollar Bills," William H. Pine and William C. Thomas made 1940s Hollywood take notice with their B movies for Paramount that gave solid entertainment while cutting costs to the bone. In the 1950s, with television looming, Pine-Thomas Productions began making bigger-budget films with stars including James Cagney and Jane Wyman, and incorporating trends like 3-D. "The public is Hollywood's boss," Pine said, and the company gave moviegoers what they wanted. Written with the assistance of the Pine and Thomas families, this book draws on Thomas' never-published memoir, interviews with colleagues and relatives, and rarely seen photographs to document the story of Pine-Thomas and its founders. An annotated filmography covers their 76 feature films and five shorts. Appendices give biographical sketches of such actors as Robert Lowery, Jean Parker and John Payne, as well as the directors, cinematographers and other crew members who made movies at top speed with more ingenuity than money.

The story of New York in the Fifties—of Rat Pack cool and the fading of the Mob's glamour—brilliantly told through the prism of Madison Square Garden. New York in the Fifties was the most interesting and most vibrant city in the world. New York gave the world a couple of other things too: one bloody and brutal but the king of sports, the other simply bloody and brutal. The Fifties were boxing’s last real heyday. Never again would the sport be so glamorous or so popular. And that’s where New York’s other gift to the world—the Mob—came in. Gangsters have been around for boxing’s entire history, but this time it was special. Most of the decade’s major fights took place at boxing’s spiritual home, Madison Square Garden, and most of the deals that made or ruined the lives of the era’s many fine fighters were done on a famous strip of pavement across the road from the Garden: Jacobs Beach. And the man ruling that strip of pavement was a charming Italian murderer called Frankie Carbo.

Boxing might not have survived the 1930s if not for Max Baer. A contender for every heavyweight championship 1932-1941, California's "Glamour Boy" brought back the "million-dollar gate" not seen since the 1920s. His radio voice sold millions of Gillette razor blades; his leading-man appeal made him a heartthrob in The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). The film was banned in Nazi Germany--Baer had worn a Star of David on his trunks when he TKOed German former champ Max Schmeling. Baer defeated 275-pound Primo Carnera in 1934 for the championship, losing it to Jim Braddock the next year. Contrary to Cinderella Man, (2005), Baer--favored 10 to 1--was not a villain and the fight was more controversial than the film suggested. His battle with Joe Louis three months later drew the highest gate of the decade. This first comprehensive biography covers Baer's complete ring record, his early life, his career on radio, film, stage and television, and his World War II army service.
