Bemerkung:

Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. // A fascinating, often hilarious look at some of the world's best-known stars as they drop carefully built-up images and inhibitions to don the clothes of the opposite sex. Dressing up in drag has always been a much-loved movie tradition. Audiences have been amused and often enthralled to see their favourite actors and actresses use this ploy to get out of a sticky situation or put some plan into action, with glamorous, hilarious or sometimes bizarre results. Homer Dickens presents, with a flourish, a unique gallery of stars from Charlie Chaplin to Julie Andrews, Laurel and Hardy to Bob Hope, caught in the act in movie stills which are funny, fascinating and memorable. A priceless addition to any movie-lover's bookshelf or coffee table. What a Drag is anything but!
