the movies. Revised and updated edition of classic history American

When it was first published in 1 957, The Movies was an immediate success with students and lovers of the cinema throughout the English-speaking world, and it soon joined the ranks of the classics of movie literature.For the past five years the authors have been working on a revised edition of this great pictorial history of the motion picture. It still contains the original material from the first edition-the great silent pictures, the amazing spectaculars, the child stars, the musicals and the mad scientists - six decades of movie history and its stars and idols. And to all this have been added 70 pages of new text and photographs, covering everything from Cleopatra to Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider, from Joseph E. Levine to Andy Warhol and the Underground, from the enduring stars like John Wayne and Bette Davis to new ones like Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman.There never has been - and never will be-another book like The Movies. It's a must for all film fans.Over 1300 illustrations
