Description

Cynical news hounds, grumbling editors, snooping television newscasters, inquisitive foreign correspondents, probing newsreel cameramen, and a host of others - all can be found in this reference work to Hollywood's version of journalism: from the early one-reelers to modern fare, over a thousand silent and sound films can be found.

Each entry includes title, date of release, distributor, director, screenwriter, and major cast members.

These credits are followed by a brief plot summary and analysis, cross-references and other information of interest to students and fans of films.

The book is arranged alphabetically, and includes a preface, introduction, bibliography, a list of abbreviations, appendices, and an index of names.

The detailed introduction covers a historical survey of the topic, with numerous examples of films and dates.

The work also includes a selection of stills from various films.
