You probably need to be a pretty big Spencer Tracy fan to commit to this book, but if you are a fan, it's well worth the time. Author James Curtis takes the time to write the kind of biography that covers every aspect of his subject's life and career. The fact that Curtis covers every single movie Tracy appeared in (from the actor's initial involvement, through the production itself, then on to how the film was received by critics and the public) is what makes this a cut above the standard bio. As a general movie fan, I LOVE that kind of stuff. The book is very accessibly written and never feels "gossipy", trite or dry. Highly recommended.
