Review
To say that Alan Singerman¹s book fills a void in the market is the understatement of the year; it is the single most valuable contribution to the field in years and is destined to have a profound impact on the way film is taught in the college classroom [...] Singerman¹s book is a highly sophisticated educational tool that caters to advanced-level undergraduate and graduate students.
