Motion Picture Guide

This fantastic 10 volume encyclopedic set lists every English-speaking motion picture EVER released to theaters from 1927 to 1984, more than 25,000 entries. A splendid and entertaining history of movies since the beginning. (Vol. 10 lists every silent film known). Lively plot synopses, critique, ratings, and fascinating detail about each and every film made, the blockbusters and bombs, Listing the cast and roles they played, release date, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and far more. Example:after lovable Fred McMurray played a cad in Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" (1960) he got so much angry fanmail insisting he play only "good guys" that he never accepted a bad guy role again.
