"It is not life, but the imitations of life -- the "once upon a time" that produces romance in the cinema. In this book John Kobal traces the Romantic Cinema and the stars who made it. The romantic stars had a style uniquely their own; they were foolish, they were extravagant, too many of them lived only for the day -- but in that there was a breath of romance. Here are the 1001 situations that contribute to romance, both on and off the screen, the one catering for and at the same time influencing the other."
