So interesting to learn over all these movies...Compact, comprehensive and informative book
October 27, 2021
There is so much packed into this relatively compact book. It is beautifully printed offering so much informative text on each of the chosen films featured, and also some gorgeous visuals in the form of stills, and poster artwork. A valuable addition to my book collection, not only as an avid cinema goer and film fan, but also as a movie poster collector.
