"It’s a magnificent book – and wonderfully written too. Rupert Alistair has a clever turn of phrase that made “The Name Below the Title” an extremely entertaining read."
- David Wills, author of Hollywood in Kodachrome and The Cinematic Legacy of Frank Sinatra
During the golden age of American cinema, the character actor’s contribution often goes unacknowledged or, though perhaps not forgotten, underappreciated; the unsung heroes. Hollywood studios had large stables of contract and stock players from all walks of life and in all shapes, sizes and ages. This great population of personalities formed the league of character actors. They played the sidekicks and best friends of the stars who headlined the movies in which they appeared. They also portrayed parents, grandparents, oddball relatives, wise-cracking neighbors, smart-aleck store clerks and loveable barkeeps. Lest we forget the sinister side of this society, villains also claimed a stake in this assembly of saints, sinners and every type in between. These colorful personalities were usually one-dimensional, someone to whom the star could confide secrets or vent frustrations. In many cases they carried the same persona over from one film to the next, perfecting their stereotype so that audiences knew what to expect from them in a positive and affectionate way, collecting their beloved favorites over the years.The Name Below the Title features 65 of the best and most fun examples of the Hollywood character actor during Hollywood's most famous era from the 1930s through the 1950s.
