4.0 out of 5 stars Could Be Better, January 10, 2000

This review is from: Filmgoers Companion (Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies) (Paperback)

Over the last 20 years (or so) I've sent corrective notes to Leslie Halliwell and the subsequent editor, John Walker. For the premiere film encyclopedia, the Filmgoers Companion still has lots of errors, missing information for supposedly complete filmographies, and many many unlisted film stars, especially from the "transition period" to talkies (Anita Page, etc.). Personally, I think Walker was a very bad choice; he doesn't seem to be "into" the encyclopedic format of this valuable resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best compliation of movie facts and trivia ever, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Filmgoers Companion (Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies) (Paperback)

Halliwell's engaging encyclopedia of film is a treasure trove of information about everything relating to the movies, with exhaustive filmographies, delicious trivia, wonderful quotes, devilish quizzes, and the late critic's inimitable -- and sometimes charmingly eccentric enthusiasm. Warning -- you may dip into it to check one actor's credits, but will find yourself cross-referencing and just leafing through for hours.
