Book Presentation:
"This is an ambitious, historical What's What (rather than Who's Who) of world film, an admirable, similarly formatted companion to Slide's The American Film Industry. . . . The entries are succinct and sturdily written, many with bibliographies. Information is generally accurate, with a few omissions, and there's a fair share of interesting esoterica. Slide's own published output nearly requires a catalog card drawer (or floppy disk) all to himself, as he and his hard-working associates continue to make the work of film scholars, students, and teachers easier and maybe a bit more fun." Library Journal
