The Virgin Encyclopedia Of The Movies

Resumen del Libro

The Virgin Encyclopedia of the Movies is the definitive illustrated movie guide, covering every facet of the most popular and influential entertainment medium of the twentieth century. It provides a decade-by-decade history of the movies, an extensive A to Z of actors and actresses, directors and producers, and reviews of the landmark movies from the first hundred years of international cinema, plus coverage of the technological aspects of movie-making, appraisals of the major movie genres and a list of Oscar winners. The book concentrates on what was popular with cinema-goers rather than what is highly regarded by critics and movie historians.
