The late film historian Ted Sennett  takes the  reader on a trip from the beginning of film to the 1980s. He covers all genres: comedy, musicals, romances, westerns, adventure, war, mystery, horror, sci-fi, crime – even society’s outcasts.  There is also a section on those films that stand alone and those made from books and plays. With over 100 colour stills and images, this is really one for the serious film history buff.
