The Macmillan International Film Encyclopedia

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Ephraim Katz's 7000 meticulously detailed entries cover: People - actors, directors, producers, stars, screenwriters Places - major film studios and centers Styles, genres, techniques and schools of film-making Film-related organizations and events Histories of the development of motion pictures - all in a language that is precise, yet free from obscure jargon. The biographies, in particular, are a joy for star struck fans and academics alike, giving much more detail than any comparable film encyclopedia, with complete film credits for most directors and many actors.

For this new edition, The Macmillan International Film Encyclopedia has been completely revised and updated to take account of the changes and growth in the film business since 1979, and it has been expanded by an extra 128 pages. In terms of style, however, it remains true to the first edition with the same heady combination of authoritative information and movie fables that has endeared it to filmgoers for well over a decade.
