"It's like a Christmas stocking full of surprises. This is the smartest movie quiz book I've ever seen."--Pauline Kael Screen Savers II: My Grab Bag of Classic Movies "A must for movie buffs of both classic and obscure movies...all told in Mr. DiLeo's witty, clever and perceptive prose."--John Rowell, Show Business Screen Savers: 40 Remarkable Movies Awaiting Rediscovery "Intriguing...really interesting details...a very entertaining book."--Robert Osborne "Turner Classic Movies" Ten Movies at a Time: A 350-Film Journey Through Hollywood and America 1930-1970 "...that rare work that I did not want to put down or, more to the point, that I kept picking up and re-reading...you will be entertained, intrigued, challenged."--James Grissom, author, Follies of God Tennessee Williams and Company: His Essential Screen Actors "It's a movie maven's dream...intelligent, exhaustive...if you want the dish on a Williams movie, it's all here."--Andrew Holleran, The Gay and Lesbian Review 100 Great Film Performances You Should Remember But Probably Don't "John's keen observations allow us to share the creativity of these artists at their peak, as well as give us a little taste of their feelings of fulfillment in their great performances, individually and collectively.

Synopsis
A hardcover book with text description and photographs of scenes of 100 actors in film roles who appear on-screen for less than 10 minutes but steal the show. In There Are No Small Parts--his seventh book about American movies--author John DiLeo celebrates performances that, even with such limited exposure, delivered unforgettable contributions to ......, In There Are No Small Parts-his seventh book about American moves-author and film historian John DiLeo celebrates remarkable screen performances, shining a uniquely targeted spotlight on artists who created full-blown characterizations within minimal screen time of ten minutes or less (sometimes much less). Occasionally they were unknowns who remained unknown, or unknowns who later experienced great career successes as major stars. And sometimes they were already major players who took on a small part that outshone all the other actors in the film. Even with such limited exposure, these masters of their craft delivered unforgettable contributions to their films and, in the process, raised the art of film acting itself. Here are one hundred brief landmark performances, spanning eighty-five years of film history-from 1935, when a little-known Elsa Lanchester created an iconic screen character in Bride of Frankenstein, to 2019, when screen giant Al Pacino's cameo role enlivened Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood. There Are No Small Parts is a singular tribute to indelible movie moments by one of the very few film scholars today who could have assembled this astonishing review of film history and the actors who have made it great. Sure to enthrall readers who are themselves film scholars, as well those who want to become one. Book jacket., Most books about screen acting, including one of the author's (100 GREAT FILM PERFORMANCES YOU SHOULD REMEMBER BUT PROBABLY DON'T), concentrate on major stars and major roles. THERE ARE NO SMALL PARTS focuses on the wonders achieved by performers in brief roles, sometimes mere cameos. To watch an actor's complete delineation of a character in a few minutes is to marvel at his/her talent, concentration, and invention. Each of the 100 performances spotlighted in the book aims to evoke not just each actor's individual impact but how he/she's imaginative gifts invigorated (and sometimes even stole) their films. From 1935 to 2019, the text surveys great artists who mastered playing for the camera, seizing moviegoers' attentions and deserving places of honor for their contributions
