A word of warning to the public. This is a mistitled book. It is NOT a film encyclopedia. You cannot look up specific films. Basically, it is a collection of brief biographies of people in the movie business with some unnecessary technical terms thrown in. At the end of each entry is a list of the films in which the subject has appeared.Fine as far as it goes, but if you want reference work in which you can look up who played the role of Bubba in Le plus Vieux Mtier du Monde, this is not it.
