"For 80 years, Bogner has stood for passion, sports, and fashion. What Willy Bogner, Sr. and his wife Maria began as a modest yet committed endeavor in 1932 evolved over the decades into a global brand with its unmistakable "B" zipper -- the hallmark of a sporty lifestyle. With his success as a skier, director, and cinematographer -- whose accomplishments include the heart-stopping ski action sequences in four James Bond movies -- Willy Bogner, Jr. and his fashion-forward wife Sonia have been the face of the Bogner brand for many years. Celebrating the company's 80th anniversary and Willy Bogner's 70th birthday, this volume recounts the history of the Munich-based company, a story that reflects eight decades of the creative zeitgeist"--Publisher's web site.

Skiing in movies, like the sport itself, grew more prevalent beginning in the 1930s, when it was a pastime of the elite, with depictions reflecting changes in technique, fashion and social climate. World War II saw skiing featured in a dozen films dealing with that conflict. Fueled by postwar prosperity, the sport exploded in the 1950s--filmmakers followed suit, using scenes on snow-covered slopes for panoramic beauty and the thrill of the chase. Through the free-spirited 1960s and 1970s, the downhill lifestyle shussed into everything from spy thrillers to beach party romps. The extreme sports era of the 1980s and 1990s brought snowboarding to the big screen. This first ever critical history of skiing in film chronicles a century of alpine cinema, with production information and stories and quotes from directors, actors and stuntmen.
