BOOK REVIEW
Books reviewed may be seen in the Society's Library.
CINEMA ITALIEN D'AUJOURD'HUI, Alexandre
Blasette and Jean Louis Rondi. Carlo
Bestetti, Edizioni d'Arte, 77 Via della Croce,
Roma, Italy. L2,000 (approx.).
For the first time a book has been published
giving full details of the history and development
of the Italian film industry. Sections are also
devoted to the artistes, technicians and to the
documentary film. In the appendices graphs show
the growth of the Italian industry since the war;
figures of exports and imports of films are also
given.
One of the finest sets of still photographs I have seen illustrate many hundreds of films produced in that country. These, together with the informative text, will make this book a necessity for all interested in the Italian film.
