Who can resist two people who can’t resist —or can’t stand— each other? The history of film is dominated by movies in which romantic and platonic pairings provide drama, mystery, comedy, and distraction from life’s less romantic realities. From the beginning of cinema to the present day, "Happy Together" looks at forty-five of the most memorable movie couples and duos in an amusing and colorful collection of images and text.

From the world of the silent movie to the box office hits of today, Icons of Film takes us on a fascinating journey through different stages in the development of the motion picture. A selection of 84 movies includes both universally acclaimed masterpieces of their genre and some lesser known films that, in their own way, have contributed towards defining the cinema of the twentieth century.Each double page includes an informative commentary on the film's origins, its initial reception, awards and nominations it received, and an outline of the characters and storyline. An introductory essay on the early years of the cinema, lists of the cast and crew, brief biographies of the directors, and a comprehensive index round off the volume.Icons of Film is a wonderful feast for the eyes, which will bring back memories of that favourite movie or be an introduction to lesser-known gems.
