Following a general introduction, Muir provides a synopsis and commentary, a list of cast and crew, significant quotations by critics for each motion picture as well as by participants in the film\'s making when available, and stills for selected films. Interesting appendixes, notes, a bibliography, and an index are included.\"--\"The Best of the Best Reference Sources,\" American Libraries, May 2003.<\/span>\" ;\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0\u00A0.<\/div>
