Description de l'ouvrage:
This is a follow up to The Great Gangster Pictures: Volume 1. Here the authors discuss some 400 genre features, from the very best to the not so good. This book, including serials, TV movies, and foreign releases, incorporates titles not discussed in the earlier volume. Among the entries are The Girl from Chicago (1927), Lady Killer (1933), The Shadow of Silk Lennox (1935), The Crime Patrol (1938), Rubber Racketeers (1942), Murder, My Sweet (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), Kansas City Confidential (1952), I Cover the Underworld (1955), Party Girl (1958), Hail! Mafia (1966), Stiletto (1969), Hammer (1972), Brannigan (1975), Lepke (1975), The Enforcer (1976), The Gangster Chronicles (1981), Scarface (1982), Once Upon a Time in America (1984), To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), and Mafia Princess (1986). Each entry includes detailed cast/characters and technical credits, a discussion of the film, and review quotes. This highly readable and useful reference volume is aimed as a guide for both movie fans of the gangster genre and cinema historians. It is also an excellent comprehensive sourcebook to many of the genre entries now available on television, the Internet, and DVDs.
