Description: Incredible resource for anyone interested in the history and development of the film industry. While the book specifically targets the year 1961, it also includes so much information on the industry in that more general mid-century era. This was quite an amazing time for film production, filled with remarkable talent and innovations. This book addresses every aspect of the film industry with detailed statistics and lists of people and places that were involved. From the stars in the films to the production crews, to the distribution and the theaters and so much more. Of course, the films themselves and some history of films and awards. It even published phone numbers for producers and other key people working at the time! Lists of photographers, screenplay writers, etc. Lists of theaters all over the country and also drive-in theaters. Even the advertisements are fascinating with many pages simply sponsored by luminaries like Alfred Hitchcock and Bob Hope. It appears these annual books were published for the industry rather than the general public though certainly also interesting to the film loving public. 1120 pages. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Hardcover. This copy is in very good condition. Binding fine, complete, no tears or folds. Pages clean (one early page has a small stain). No foxing or large stains. The spine is tilted and corner tips bumped, minor shelf wear to boards from long storage. Ships with USPS media mail.
