At Last: A Novel Based on the Life of Harry Warren - Paperback

by Stacia Raymond (Author)

The golden age of the Hollywood musical celebrated through the life of unsung hit-maker Harry Warren.

Eliciting a swell of nostalgia, Harry Warren's jaunty melodies lift our spirits as much today as they did for Depression-era moviegoers. Navigating a business already known for its glamour, excess, and ruthless business practices, Warren quietly but resplendently helped create a new American art form.

A self-taught musician, Warren was nominated for eleven best original song Academy Awards and took home three Oscars. He composed twenty musicals including 42^nd Street and unforgettable American standards such as "We're in the Money," "Chattanooga Choo Choo," and "That's Amore."

At Last brings readers on a journey through yesteryear's Tin Pan Alley, Busby Berkeley set pieces, cocktails with the Gershwins, and the creative and collaborative process of a prolific musical genius.
