Andrew Balzano Releases One of My Life's Passions: Classics and Mysteries, a Fan's Guide to Great Mysteries Worth Rewatching
Balzano's love of classic film and popular behind-the-scenes features shaped his carefully selected entries. "This book is about quality, not quantity," he writes.
The book opens with Hallmark Mystery's Murder, She Baked and its final film, Just Desserts, praising director Kristoffer Tabori's choice to let Delores Swensen burst into Hannah and Mike's phone call, a true-to-life touch few directors attempt. It then turns to David Suchet's Poirot, listing forty titles and favorites such as The Yellow Iris and Double Sin.
The centerpiece is the Universal Classic Monsters era, built around the special features of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man: Bela Lugosi's stand-in in the ice cavern, the two accounts of how Boris Karloff won the role of the Monster, and Universal's plans for Lon Chaney Sr. before his death in 1930. Readers also revisit the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films and more than sixty Murder, She Wrote episodes, from Murder Takes the Bus to Witness for the Defense.
Balzano writes as a fan for fans: "It is my goal to entertain and share my knowledge and perceptions." Newcomers receive a viewing list, while longtime fans discover overlooked details.
One of My Life's Passions: Classics and Mysteries is available now on Amazon in eBook, Paperback, and Hardcover formats.
