5.0 out of 5 stars A singular breath of fresh air!, 16 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pinewood Story: The Authorised History of the World's Most Famous Film Studio (Hardcover)

This devilishly handsome book, weighty and colourful outwardly, is a genuine literary treasure trove of facts, trivia and groundbreakingly rare illustrations. The author - a film producer himself, it seems - clearly cares about his subject, and his dedication to our most celebrated film studio shines through in every line. The Pinewood Story was quite possibly the most important film book of 2000 and remains an essential purchase: my only regret is that it took me so long to get around to reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many happy memories, 9 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pinewood Story: The Authorised History of the World's Most Famous Film Studio (Hardcover)

I have worked at Pinewood Studios for, I guess, forty odd years. This book was a wonderful surprise in bringing back so many of my happiest memories - and a few behind the scenes tales we all tried to forget!

Lavishly illustrated, it must rank as one of the best film books of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive and essential, 16 April 2002

By	M. Stay "Mark Stay" (Epsom, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Pinewood Story: The Authorised History of the World's Most Famous Film Studio (Hardcover)

This is an excellent history of one of Britain's finest movie studios. It's crammed with information and pictures and a mind-boggling filmography (see how many of your favourites have been filmed there). It's exhaustive and affectionate in its appreciation that this great studio has played in movie history. A must for all movie fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful.
It's hard to appreciate how almost 1,000 films have been made at the studios. Not just British, but international blockbusters too - most recently Lara Croft. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great photos
Whilst the writing is great, some of the photographs are even better, especially the up-to-date pictures. Worth the cover price just for some of them.
