5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Reference for a Major Studio which gave us classics,
By
This review is from: The RKO Features: A Complete Filmography of the Feature Films Released or Produced by RKO Radio Pictures, 1929-1960 (Hardcover)
This RKO studio reference, by James Neibaur, is a terrific resource. Every film from RKO is in here with production detail and criticism. From the studio which gave us Citizen Kane, King Kong, and It's a Wonderful Life...this is a must-have reference book.

Handy reference guide for Turner Classic Movies viewers,
By
This review is from: The RKO Features: A Complete Filmography of the Feature Films Released or Produced by RKO Radio Pictures, 1929-1960 (Hardcover)
This book contains every feature film made by RKO studios from the beginning of the talkie era to 1960, listed alphabetically from ABE LINCOLN IN ILLINOIS to ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY. Information includes cast and credits, synopses and interesting notes about the films. In addition to the films produced by RKO, the book also includes films by independent producers like Walt Disney and Sam Goldwyn who released through RKO. Since most of RKO's own feature films are in the library of Turner Classic Movies, this book makes for a very handy reference source to place by your television for quick reference when an RKO film--whether GUNGA DIN or MEXICAN SPITFIRE'S ELEPHANT--comes on the screen.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Fast service, flimsy book,
This review is from: The RKO Features: A Complete Filmography of the Feature Films Released or Produced by RKO Radio (Paperback)
The seller was very fast and professional in shipping and correspondence. Disappointed in the quality of the book, very brief reviews and all pictures were copies. Would not have purchased this book, if I knew it was a paper copy of a hard bound book.
