'The King Kong of movie reference works' Mail on Sunday 'The indispensable reference guide for the avid moviegoer's bookshelf' Empire 'Often imitated, never bettered' The Guardian
An updated version of the Halliwell's Filmgoer's Companion, this is an extensive, comprehensive A to Z guide to everyone who is everyone in the vast and colourful world of cinema. There are no film reviews, remember (you'll need the Film & Video Guide for those), but there is everything else: quotes, a chapter on remakes, series, themes and genres, an index of studios and production companies, an A to Z of technical and critical terms, indexes of movie lists, awards, book and periodicals, and even a brief history of the cinema itself. Walker is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable editor to be leading the Halliwell series into the cinema's second century. (Kirkus UK)

Product Description
This is an A-Z of people in cinema. While "Halliwell's Film Guide" is about films, the "Who's Who" is about the people in them. Packed with comprehensive biographical profiles of actors and actresses, directors, producers, editors and other key personnel, as well as notes on the major studios, foreign cinema, cinematic themes and definitions of technical terms, this is a wide-ranging publication. This new edition is completely revised and updated and includes more substantial biographies of the stars, a history of the cinema from 1894-1998, lists of Oscar winners and nominations through the years, details of all the major film festival awards, as well as over 1000 new entries on the famous and not so famous names in the movie industry.
