Description: ABOUT THIS BOOK
Cinema 1950 succeeds Penguin Film Review, an attempt to develop further its policy of collecting together essays by writers of the film, both new and established. Its range is the Cinema in all its aspects, social as well as artistic, and, since in this new annual form it is twice the size of the original Film Review, it is possible to publish more long and comprehensive essays than hitherto. This gives writers space to elaborate their arguments, and, we hope, to contribute to the more permanent literature of the cinema.
This book contains a comprehensive list of the important foreign films of the year, several book reviews, and is fully indexed. There are also over 120 illustrations from the year's films, collected from all over the world.
