Behind the Curtain 4, (Paperback)

In this fourth volume of Behind the Curtain, author Marc LeVitre writes his own version of That's Entertainment IV. The films he covers here are sometimes as well known as many in previous volumes, but like the movie clip fest, some are little known, buried in a vault. However, through these films, such as those in That's Entertainment, he, narrating like Gene Kelly, reveals important facets. While the movie clips explore Judy and Mickey barn raisers, Tracy and Hepburn repartee, and Esther Williams swimming extravaganzas, the author dives into three of his own special interests. He explores modern Disney films, a series of emotion-eliciting films, and more sports films, all relevant in some way to his life. (They include Frozen, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Trouble with the Curve.) The unique feature of this book is quoting Scripture far more frequently in confirmation of the films' messages, making it possible for the readers not to need their Bibles by their side. By doing so, LeVitre covers fewer films than previously ("only" thirty), but the intention is that the reviews will be more comprehensive and more potent, demonstrating and glorifying God's power "behind the curtain." Since the beginning, LeVitre, a pastor's son, has been looking for the moral of the story, and by doing so, has been entertained, but more importantly, has been enlightened. He has been writing the Behind the Curtain series since 2011. LeVitre has been proud to call New Hampshire home since 1968 and incorporates film references to New Hampshire and its famous citizens whenever possible.
