A Provocative Look at Classic Cinema
As a critic and historian, Peter Bogdanovich has written about the talents behind the screen, including memorable studies on Orson Welles, Fritz Lang and Frank Tashlin. "Movie of the Week" is a fascinating series of critical and historic essays, ranging from masterworks ("Citizen Kane" and "Grand Illusion") to cult favorites ("Artists and Models" and "The Merry...

But in comparision to his other writings such as "Who the Hell's in It" and "Who the Devil Made It," this book is a major disappointment. The reviews of the films have no substance. The pictures for the films were all placed on the pages that did not match the reviews. The...

This review is from: Peter Bogdanovich's Movie of the Week (Paperback)
As a critic and historian, Peter Bogdanovich has written about the talents behind the screen, including memorable studies on Orson Welles, Fritz Lang and Frank Tashlin. "Movie of the Week" is a fascinating series of critical and historic essays, ranging from masterworks ("Citizen Kane" and "Grand Illusion") to cult favorites ("Artists and Models" and "The Merry Widow"). His telling observations on influential silents such as "The Crowd" and "Steamboat Bill Jr." - and lesser-known filmmakers like King Vidor and Allan Dwan - make it a book worth having. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to disagree with Bogdanovich's 52 selections.

I have great respect for Peter Boganovich as a director and especially as a film historian. But in comparision to his other writings such as "Who the Hell's in It" and "Who the Devil Made It," this book is a major disappointment. The reviews of the films have no substance. The pictures for the films were all placed on the pages that did not match the reviews. The photo quality was just horrible. I would recommend Roger Ebert's "Great Movie" and "Great Movie II" instead for a quality review and history of the films.
