Classic Movies - Tapa dura

This is an exploration of more than 70 classic films - movies which have transcended time and trends - ranging from the early silents to the modern-day thriller, from low-budget to the spectacular Hollywood extravaganza. It encompasses every kind of subject category, including silents, westerns, comedy, musicals, fantasy and imagination, horror, romance, war, controversy, crime, epic, social realism and thrillers. The author provides background information about the films as well as commentaries which will encourage readers to watch certain movies for the first time, see their favourites again and perhaps provoke second thoughts about their least-favourites.
