Review
Well-illustrated, comprehensive and attractive. (Ivan Butler Film Review Annual)
...Very definitely recommended for fans of crime dramas and movies in general. (Tv Collector)
...A valuable reference tool...The credentials of both authors certainly substantiate their ability to undertake a work such as this. (Leon Smith Movie Collector's World)
The browser and those interested in film will enjoy leafing through this volume and learning the extent of the gangster movie genre. The authors' commentary is snappy and succinct. (American Reference Books Annual)
No previous coverage of exclusively gangster movies has been as complete as these two volumes...Libraries with a history-of-the movies clientèle will need to add this present volume to its predecessor. (Booklist)
