5.0 out of 5 stars This book made me a serial fan!, July 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cliffhanger: A pictorial history of the motion picture serial (Hardcover)

Mr Barbour's book is a loving look back to the exciting days of the movie serial. The book is lavishly illustrated with rare photgraphs and lobby cards. Chapters look at different genres of the serial and the elements that made them great: the stunt men, the villains and the two- fisted leading leading men and women. If you want to discover what inspired the " Indiana Jones" movies (and Zorro) , seek out this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference & Source Guide, February 1, 2002

By	Edward Lee "ncc1205" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Barbour's book (probably not the definitive on the subject of the classic movie serials) is an outstanding reference compendium and source guide for cinema's golden age. The edition clearly outlines an entire host of serials that appeared on the silver screen during the motion picture business's infancy, and the author even goes to great length (where the information is available) to credit the serials various inspirations throughout the ensuing years. Additionally (a great pleasure for this movie viewer), CLIFFHANGER is replete with black and white photos (excellent reproductions from the original negatives) of major characters and serials from this vintage era. A truly wonderful and inspiring book, penned clearly by an author with a love of the subject material.
