1.0 out of 5 stars A horror of a book 24 Mar 2004

By Mr. J. P. Redfern

Format:Paperback

To be honest theres not much to this guide, all it does is chronicle each film who directed etc etc no snippits of infomation no insight nothing nada squat zilch, a much better guide on this subject would be Hammer studios (wayne kinsey). So do you self a favour and keep hold of your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fangless and lacking bite! 12 Feb 2010

By A. MERAKLI

Format:Paperback

I've collected several Pocket Essential releases (Spaghetti Westerns; The Carry On Films: Sergio Leone: Bruce Lee: and Laurel & Hardy) and I've got to say that this is the poorest of the lot. The first 3 chapters are okay, although very brief with information, but from page 48 - 74, where it becomes a simple writing down of title, cast and running time (info that anybody could get from a brief browsing on the net) it is dead! (no pun intended). Even at a low cost, it is not worth it in my opinion. There's nothing in the way of chronological order and basically the book is over by page 47 after reviewing about 20 odd films acceptably. Save your money and put it to one of the other releases that has in-depth information and better production value.
