An analysis of the phenomenon of French film stardom. It provides in-depth studies of the major popular stars of French cinema, including Max Linder, Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau and Gerard Depardieu. It explores the stars' images and performance, as well as French culture and society.

Extending from early cinema to the present, bringing together both published and newly minted writings with a fresh Introduction, the book invites readers to dip in according to particular interests or to read it right through as a substantial introduction to the thrust of French cinema's history.
