Best Italian Movies Guide: From Classic Films to Cult Favorites - Perfect for Movie Nights & Film Studies

I just got this and have barely cracked it, but what I have read so far has been enlightening, to say the least. Such info as the fact that Barbarella and Diabolik were filmed concurrently, or that Antonio Margheritti's "Gamma-1 Quadrilogy" (War Of The Planets, Wild Wild Planet, War Between the Planets, and Snow Devils) were all filmed in 12 weeks, the first two co-produced by MGM, and were all intended specifically for US television syndication. I wasn't even aware that the Vincent Price film The Last Man on Earth was an Italian-American co-production filmed in Rome.Covers all the major genres. Great resource for finding other Italian films with the same directors, actors, and score composers. And just enough plot description given for the films you haven't seen to give you an idea whether you would find those particular films interesting and worth seeking out.Could have used a few more stills from the actual films (although there are plenty of posters and lobby cards), an appendix to alternate titles, and a guide to internet resources and sources for the films on DVD, but other than that, well worth your money.
