Fun Quizzies For Fans Of Classic Films....All The Pix Make It A Keeper

This review refers to "The Movies: A Picture Quiz book" by Stanley Appelbaum & Hayward Cirker A fun book for film buffs or just plain film lovers to flip through and test their knowledge on the classics in every genre. Lots of pix from our favorites with corresponding questions ranging from easy to hard. The quiz pictures and questions cover a wide variety of genres and many years of great films. From Melies, Kurosawa and Griffith to Hitch, Truffaut and Ford , would you know from a picture, who directed which films? Pictures of actors and actress in roles they made their own, from Bergman, Monroe and Hepburn to Brando, Wells, and Astaire. and so many more. The black and white pix depict familiar and maybe not so familiar scenes. Some questions you'll only have to name the star or the director, other times the scene itself is the topic of the question. Genres should cover something for everyone's favorites. The Very early Beginnings,Child stars, Horror,Western, War, Serials,Great Literature on Film,Foreign, and some stars so big even get their own sections, Marlene, Chaplin and W.C. Fields among them. The book would make a great coffee table or ice breaker book. Nice gift for classic film fans(you won't find much newer films here). An oh yeah...even though you don't really need them, the answers are in the back(use to prove your answer to those doubters among you). The pictures alone are a treasure to have. Charles Boyer is tied up in a chair. Ingrid Bergman is standing over him with a knife. He is? a) a crack detective b) an audacious burglar c) her husband or d)the lady's latest murder victim She is? a) undergoing a fit of insanity b)just pretending to be insane c)only going to cut him up a little or d)putting on an act for others with his complicity Now name the film. You know it! For those who specialize in Sci-Fi/Horror, I would also recommend a great trivia book with 1000 questions;Sci-fi Chan Trivia Tr See my review for details of it. Have fun with this one.....Laurie
