"Malone shows how the masculine erotic image has changed through the years—from such 'good guy' romantic heroes as Douglas Fairbanks, to the tough sweetness of Bogart and Gable, to rebels like James Dean and Elvis Presley, to such brooding contemporary heroes as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. ... a true feast for movie lovers —and for lovers of men."
