The Guinness Book of Film

Mehr zum Buch

Beginning with the first "talkie", "The Jazz Singer" (1927), this book covers the 1000 best movies of this century. Each film is defined by a series of quick reference icons, with star profiles for each year featuring best actor and actress, birth and, where appropriate, death dates; brief filmography, scandal and gossip, and photography. "Guinness Choice" defines the best movie for each year, with a feature-length review. A window-on-the-world image defines the global event of the year, including political, sports, science and popular culture events together with the main Oscar awards. A guide to films on television and video is also included.
