Critics Review
“Any academic library that has students that might get the merest whiff of cinema as part of their curriculum should ensure this work is available to them.” (Reference Reviews, 1 December 2012)

Any academic library that has students that might get the merest whiff of cinema as part of their curriculum should ensure this work is available to them.”
