## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leonard Maltins classic Movie Guide from silent era to 1965
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 26, 2011*

Very pleased with this book. Gives details of director and actors and a brief description of movie - however, wish he would keep is comments on whether it was good, bad or silly movie to himself - everyone has different tastes. Have discovered that some movies in this period may not be in this book, but can sometime shows up in his other book up to current date. This can be disappointing as you need to have both books. Also instead of realeasing a new book from 1966 onwards he tends to add next five years to existing book and you have to then re-purshase(This book was originally up to 1960, but in 2011 he added another five years). My advise - wait for a few years and when it gets to 1980 then buy it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Bassic Reference.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 18, 2017*

This is a great help when one wants to learn more about a film that is coming up on TV or when one had just seen it. It is very useful when one wants to identify an actor in a film one has seen. I still find some films I wish to know more about aren't listed, but this does cover a tremendous array of films, including some foreign classics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nearly indispensable
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 21, 2014*

Nearly indispensable guide to older movies, that for example display on Turner Classic Movies (although TCM shows some newer movies also). Reviews of such movies are hard to find elsewhere, and are often absent even from Maltin's annual product. I say "Nearly" indispensable because these same reviews are often provided by TCM with its comprehensive listings at its website.New readers should note that Maltin uses his own system of alphabetizing, unique as far as I know to him. It's not hard to grasp but a problem for anyone unaware of it, who could easily miss some reviews on this account.
