A selection of Vintage Films from Hollywood's Golden Age by film buff, David Zinman. In 1970, Zinman published a book listing his writings on films that still "hold up on repeat screenings today" from the 1930s and 1940s. Zinman has described himself as a "movie bum" rather than a movie scholar and as such the list itself serves as a refined and nostalgic look back on films from yesteryear.
