Richly detailed, compelling as a suspense novel, illustrated throughout with rare photographs and documents,
Round Up the Usual Suspects is a magnificent examination of the forces and people that came together -- either because of or in spite of the studio system -- to create a masterpiece. Veteran Casablanca addicts, newcomers to the film, and those who love reading about behind-the-scenes Hollywood will be dazzled by Aljean Harmetz's fresh insights into the people and period of the quintessential movie-lover's movie, which has endured for fifty years and shows no signs of stopping.
