This is a collection of studio pictures - stills, portraits and staged "off-set" publicity photographs - which celebrate exotic matinee idols of the silent era such as Rudolph Valentino, through to today's international superstars, including Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford. The complementary text encapsulates each star's special appeal and looks at how perceptions of the male hero have changed over the last 80 years.
