![]() ![]() I did read it all and found some of it interesting, some of it depressing, and some of it bizarre. I don’t think I knew there were dozens of Rin Tin Tin movies.Ī family member suggested I read this book and went as far as to mark the sections about the TV show in case I didn’t want to read the whole thing. ![]() I knew the name Rin Tin Tin and was aware there had been a Rin Tin Tin television show in the 1950s but had never watched it (I have seen a few episodes of Lassie, however). Personally, prior to reading Rin Tin Tin: The Life and Legend I’m pretty sure I thought Rin Tin Tin was a fictional dog like Lassie. ![]() The Rin Tin Tin from ABC’s The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin (who wasn’t actually a Rin Tin Tin at all)? The Rin Tin Tin who starred in a variety of movies during the 1920s and early 130s and almost received an Academy Award? The Rin Tin Tin who starred in additional movies during the 1930s? That might depend on which Rin Tin Tin they’re thinking about. And there aren’t many people who would consider Rin Tin Tin to be obscure or forgotten. It’s not a TV tie-in novel or a reference book. It was published in 2011, so it is very new. This is another atypical Bookshelf column. Bookshelf is published on the second Thursday of each month. While I love watching TV, I also love reading about it, from tie-in novels to TV Guides, from vintage television magazines to old newspaper articles. Bookshelf is a monthly column examining printed matter relating to television. ![]()
