There are so many ” bit part ” actors in this wonderful book.It really takes me back to when everyone went to the pictures,a weekly visit being the highlight of the week’s leisure time.The book is about 20 years old,but the number of character actors who’ve become well known during those 20 years is unimportant to me,it’s the ones who I loved to see in the fifties and sixties.

A great reference book to identify all those famous faces that turned up and considerably enhanced many great movies. Although not “A list” stars, they appeared in many of the great A list movies which would not have been the same without them. Good to have them recognised and remembered.
