Sometimes Hollywood gets it wrong - that's the popular belief. Sometimes, Hollywood got it right. But did early woman emerge from the caves in an animal skin bikini, a la Raquel Welch, in One Million Years B.C.? Is the great chariot race in Ben-Hur like the real thing? Was the relationship between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn portrayed fairly? This book is divided into the Seven Ages of Hollywood, from the Creation to the Vietnam War, comparing fact - insofar as it can be ascertained - with the versions presented in Hollywood. Cover shows Charlton Heston being epically (and hopefully accurately) Moses in The Ten Commandments.
