First biography of the actress in After the Thin Man and DeMille's The Sign of the Cross.

This book deals not only with Hitler's personal cinematic likes and dislikes, with the ambitions of Leni Riefenstahl, with the idyllic world of German animation, with film emigration, with anti-Semitic films, Dachau and Auschwitz.

Cecil B. DeMille boosted the career of Elissa Landi in The Sign of the Cross (1932). Her leading men included Laurence Olivier, Fredric March, Cary Grant, and Robert Donat in The Count of Monte Cristo (1934). After 33 films, Landi gave up on Hollywood, to focus on her career as a novelist. "O'Brien reveals things about Elissa, I never knew!" - Suki Landi Sennett (niece) Elissa Landi is Scott O'Brien's eighth biography of classic cinema legends. His books have garnered positive reviews in such publications as Classic Images, Sight & Sound, and SF Gate. Three of O'Brien's books have made the Huffington Post "Best Cinema Books of the Year." From the Foreword: When Elissa Landi arrived at Fox Studios in the Fall of 1930, she had a résumé of nine films to her credit, over a dozen stage plays, and had written two novels. Writing was her real passion, but her acting career had been pushed forward by the likes of Noel Coward, Dorothy Gish, John Barrymore, and directors Anthony Asquith and Rouben Mamoulian. Landi's recent success in Broadway's A Farewell to Arms (1930) inspired composer George Gershwin to rhapsodize that her performance was "a symphony of emotion." Fox did a spin on Gershwin's comment, coupling it with Elissa's mother's claim of being the daughter of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Landi had to cope with the studio promoting her as Hollywood's "Empress of Emotion." She had reason to go along for the ride.

The Funniest Decade devotes one chapter to each calendar year of the 1930s, covering the landmark comedy films, radio programs, and stage performances of each year.
