Gr 6-12-- Romance, music, and dance are the winning combination for films that are the subject of this book. Staskowski provides an in-depth look at six motion pictures spanning six decades-- Top Hat , Meet Me in Saint Louis , Singing in the Rain , West Side Story , Grease , and Dirty Dancing --and includes brief cultural insights of the periods. Complemented by black-and-white and full-color photographs, this readable addition to an ongoing series should be popular. --Judie Porter, Media Services Center, Portsmouth School Department, RI
