Halliwell's: the only film guide that matters: who's who in the movies
Halliwell's has been a reference brand name for more than 40 years. This guide, a British publication, revised and replaced the familiar Halliwell's Filmgoer's Companion and provides entries on actors, directors, producers, writers, and others involved in making movies. More than 13,000 individuals are listed, and entries contain, at minimum, personal dates, a brief descriptive phrase )"Australian leading actress"(, and a chronological listing of films )with significant films italicized( and notable appearances in television series. Some entries may contain fuller biographical information, a quote, and commentary; that for Daniel Craig notes his elevation to 007 status and says, "The release of Casino Royale will tell whether it was a wise choice or a misstep in the manner of George Lazenby." Appendixes house material that was once part of the main A-Z arrangement in Filmgoer's Companion, such as entries for "Movie Remakes, Series, Themes and Genres"; a glossary of technical and critical terms; a somewhat random and not consistently up-to-date survey of national cinemas; and lists of award winners.
