I love the beautiful black and white photos by Ken Regan (he has photographed everything from rock and roll scenes and stars to the olympics and wars in the Persian Gulf and Bosnia). Johnathan Demme wrote the forward for this book. There are stark photos of the actors in the movie that would be suitable for framing. The photo on the inside of the front and back covers is stunning! There are almost 200 people from the movie posed in a semi-circle all in costume. Beautiful.
