Fun pictures – s-p-a-r-s-e information.

Do the math: 1,017 pages, only 700 are dedicated to film, the rest is an index of artists. Now in the 700 pages, we have to stuff small four-square photos (about one per page), a few larger photos (all black and white), and 9,000 films (1896-1999); that leaves approximately one and a half-inch column to describe the title, main actors, and writing source. Some of the pictures are fun; just knowing the film is made is useful. However, that is all there is.

Worth It for the Film Credits

If you like films this is an invaluable book. The film credits alone are valuable and informative for cross-reference directors, writers, cinematographers and the like. The book covers sci-fi, fantasy, horror with an affinity for films of the like. Great text.
