The Films of 20th Century-Fox: A Pictoral History, 50th Anniversary Edition

Really disappointed with this. Most of the movies only get a capsule review but no photograph. It's really hard to conjure up an impression of the movie without a still to go with it. But we do get detailed cast listings right down to minor bit players. They should have only listed the top 6 or 8 performers for each film and left more room for stills. At least the summary reviews are respectful, unlike the snotty Clive Hirschhorn reviews of Columbia product for instance. Better than nothing for armchair film historians but more of a reference than something you want to sit down and read for an hour or two at a time.

Complete lists of all 20th Century-Fox releases from the 1935 merger up to the mid-eighties. A good read.

Twentieth Century Fox has a long history of films that came out of its' studio some of my favorites are: 1. THE VERDICT on page 452 2. HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART ONE on page 443 3. NORMA RAE on pages 428-429 4. THE OMEN on page 417 5. CLAUDINE on page 406 6. SOUNDER on page 397 7. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and ST. VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE on page 370 8. PLANET OF THE APES and THE BOSTON STRANGLER on page 375 9. MASH, PATTON, and TORA! TORA! TORA! on page 38710. OUR MAN FLINT on page 36411. THE LONGEST DAY on page 34112. THE THREE FACES OF EVE on page 29313. PINKY on page 20414. JANE EYRE, LAURA, and LIFEBOAT on page 152These are just the movies that I've watched and enjoyed over the years, there are many other movies in this book that you've probably enjoyed as well.

I wsa slightly disappointed with the format of the book in comparison to the other studio books i have got but i needed it to fill a hole in my collection.

Excellent catalog reference of the movies made at 2oth Century-Fox from its debut in 1935 to the late 1970's. There ought to be another volume produced to encompass the movies made since. My copy was in excellent condition with only minor damage to the hardcover. No yellowed pages, no creases, no torn or missing pages; binding and spine in excellent condition. For a book that's been out of print since the late 1970's that's pretty darn good.
