Weight. Odhams Press, Ltd., London, England. 592 pages. The 1956 edition of the well-known British annual trade directory, the Kinematograph Year Book, is out for its fortythird publication year and the usual features of the publication, all with a high utility quotient, are on hand for readers on both sides of the Atlantic and elsewhere. This is an invaluable guide to the British trade, and its intensively detailed informational departments, capsule biographies of prominent British film figures, and other features are completely edited, as usual. The contents include motion pictures which have been trade-shown in England during 1955, renting company lists, trade organizations, British studios and production setups, service companies, circuits, equipment information, statistical data, and a section on commercial television. There is a section on advertising, on the Cinematograph Films Act, a classified and a general trade directory, a sub-standard film market, a legal section and an editorial index. The publishers have prepared their new annual with a regard for good, clear typography and attractive makeup. The volume’s typographical composition and arrangement are such as to make for a light, compact tome. Those with British dealings will want the book, and even those who merely require generalized briefing from time to time on the British picture will find this a handy addition to their libraries.— L.J.Q.
