Savannah Schroll Guz - Library Journal

First published in 1969 as an outgrowth of Maltin's self-published serial Film Fan Monthly, this stout, newly updated paperback edition adds more than 300 paragraph-long review entries to its 17,000 succinct qualitative summaries. Rated on the star system, the films are organized alphabetically by title. Listings appear to be current only to mid-2007, since prominent films like No Country for Old Men, released in November 2007, are absent. Prefacing the book is an alphabetized contact list of distributors that specialize in rare movies. A lengthy index of stars and their movies rounds out the book. Recommended for public libraries and film collections.
