| Christopher Walken - A to Z
|
Robert Schnakenberg 80:-
He’s been a dancer, a baker, a lion tamer, an award-winning actor, and a Hollywood legend. But Christopher Walken has never been the subject of a comprehensive biographical reference—until now.
Here at last is a complete A-to-Z guide to this one-of-a-kind performer, featuring entries on everything from the Actors Studio (the legendary theatrical workshop where Walken spent eleven years as a janitor) to Zombie Movies (one of Walken’s favorite film genres).

| Harriet Andersson - Samtal med Jan Lumholdt
|
Harriet Andersson 80:-
Harriet Andersson är en av svensk films mest rosade filmskådespelerskor. I denna bok, som kan karaktäriseras som en självbiografi, berättar hon rakt, personligt och meddelsamt om livet, karriären, människorna, mötena och relationerna.
Samt naturligtvis om filmerna, Bergman och sig själv - med betoning på det sistnämnda. Vi får följa med från de första åren på revyscenen, via mindre roller på filmduken, till huvudroller i en rad filmer.

| Hasse & Tage
|
Kalle Lind 175:-
I "HasseåTage" guidar Kalle Lind läsaren genom humorduon Hasseåtages gemensamma produktion. Via nedslag bland dessa underhållningsgiganters många verk får vi en bild av vad som ledde fram till alla infall, influenser och improvisationer. Nyfiket, men inte okritiskt, studeras den tid som formade dem - och som de var med om att forma.

|
Ronald L Davis 125:-
John Ford remains the most honoured director in Hollywood history, having won six Academy Awards and four New York Film Critics Awards.

| Marx Brothers - 'A Day at the Races'
|
Robert Pirosh, George Seaton 100:-
In their second M-G-M outing, Groucho, Harpo and Chico (now permanently Zeppo-less) take on the medical profession, with Groucho as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, a horse doctor posing as the medical director of a sanitarium. Both the original script and the dialogue and action from the film as released are presented, it sez here, "because the final film differs so much from the script."

|
| Marx Brothers: 'A Night at the Opera'
|
James Kevin McGuinness 100:-
The Marx Brothers take on high society. Two lovers who are both in opera are prevented from being together by the man's lack of acceptance as an operatic tenor. Pulling several typical Marx Brothers' stunts, they arrange for the normal tenor to be absent so that the young lover can get his chance.
A great deal of fun for Marx fanatics. Starts with the original script, then some film stills, and the text of the film as shot/released. Enough "new" jokes in the first half, and the comfort of an old friend in the second.

| O'Toole, Peter - Loitering with Intent
|
Peter O'Toole 80:-
Peter O'Toole's account of his early life - a childhood framed by "Captain" Patrick O'Toole, itinerant racetrack bookmaker and Constance Jane Eliot Ferguson who had "wavy black hair, quick eyes and a determination to marry for money", his schooldays under the long shadow of Adolf Hitler, his years in the navy, his short-lived career as a cub reporter and the almost accidental audition at RADA that launched his career.

| Woody Allen: Fun with Woody
|
Graham Flashner 50:-
Screenwriter Flashner uses a Q & A format to test readers' knowledge of the "funniest lines and scenes from Woody's films, plays, books and nightclub routines, as well as behind-the-scenes production notes." The more than 500 questions are difficult and include, for example, "For all of Woody's New York filming, he only rides the subway once . . . and is terrorized. In which movie does he ride?"
