Great Italian Films is a fun guide to classic Italian films.

Not a Reference Work
Authors of non-fiction books who don't provide an index should be taken out and shot. Jerry Vermilye deserves no better. Great Italian Films may be useful as a coffee table decoration, but that's about all. Look elsewhere if you're seeking rich analysis.

Great Italian Films is a fun guide to classic Italian films. Plot summaries and abbreviated lists of credits, and usually more than one photo per film make an affectionate tribute to Italian cinema and many of its biggest stars. I own a copy of this book and many others on Italian cinema and individual directors. It's a great coffee table book for film nights with your friends. For those looking for more in depth studies, I recommend searching for titles by Millicent Marcus, Mira Liehm, and Peter Bondanella (Bondanella's Italian Cinema: From Neorealism to the Present (3rd ed., 2001), is the standard, excellent survey in the field).
