註釋The author of 13 other film studies details series and serials (the distinction is blurry), which are generally considered bit players in motion picture history but thrilled audiences for decades as memorable vehicles of vicarious adventure and romance. In his brief but informative introduction, the author provides such background details as: "continued next week" series premiered in the silent era with What Happened to Mary (1912); and that Flash Gordon (1936) cost a quarter million dollars to produce. To preserve their legacy, he lists 753 domestic and foreign entries--interspersed with vintage movie posters--providing the "what," "when," "who" and "where" details to satisfy film buffs. Extensive name, but no subject, index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
