It is, surprisingly, more than a quarter of a century since Robert Donat died. Surprisingly because, due to the vigour of his screen persona, he is still with us in a dozen film classics. Donat was one of the handful of stars to emerge from Britain in the golden years of the cinema, and he held a unique position by constantly refusing to be type-cast. Hitchcock claimed that Donat was responsible for the world-wide success of The 39 Steps. He received an Oscar nomination for The Citadel, and won the coveted award for his performance in Goodbye Mr Chips, his bestloved film.
Other notable roles included Pitt the Younger, The Count of Monte Cristo, the Carson-like barrister in The Winslow Boy and the founder of cinema in The Magic Box.
He bade a poignant farewell to his public as the Chinese mandarin in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. But his first love was the theatre and this book also details this forgotten part of his life from childhood theatricals in the toolshed, through touring with Sir Frank Benson in Shakespeare, his first starring role as Gideon Sarn in Precious Bane, to his last performance as Becket in Murder in the Cathedral. It is the story of a man wracked with physical suffering, a chronic asthmatic with a voice of unforgettable beauty, a genius of an actor cruelly taken away at the age of fifty-three; it is the story of a father, a husband, a lover.Official biographer Kenneth Barrow unravels the enigma of this gentle, passionate, private person who once claimed,'I never had any real security in my life until I found the false security of stardom'. Laurence Olivier, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Ingrid Bergman, Ralph Richardson, Deborah Kerr, Irving Thalberg, Greer Garson, Alexander Korda and George Bernard Shaw are just some of the glittering characters who people his life story. Included is the testimony of many of these, together with substantial extracts from Donat's own writings revealing fluency and an individual wit.

(Order reference 14966).For more than twenty years, film critic, teacher, activist, and fan Thomas Waugh has been writing about queer movies. As a member of the Jump Cut collective and contributor to the Toronto-based gay newspaper, The Body Politic, he emerged in the late 1970s as a pioneer in gay film theory and criticism, and over the next two decades solidified his reputation as one of the most important and influential gay film critics. The Fruit Machine - a collection of Waugh s reviews and articles originally published in gay community tabloids, academic journals, and anthologies - charts the emergence and maturation of Waugh's critical sensibilities while lending an important historical perspective to the growth of film theory and criticism as well as queer moviemaking. In this wide-ranging anthology, Waugh touches on some of the great films of the gay canon, from Taxi zum Klo to Kiss of the Spider Woman . He also discusses obscure guilty pleasures like Born a Man, Let Me Die a Woman , unexpectedly rich movies like Porky's and Caligula, filmmakers such as Fassbinder and Eisenstein, and film personalities from Montgomery Clift to Patty Duke. Emerging from the gay liberation movement of the 1970s, Waugh traverses crises from censorship to AIDS, tackling mainstream pot-boilers along with art movies, documentaries, and avant-garde erotic videos. In these personal perspectives on the evolving cinematic landscape, his words oscillate from anger and passion to wry wit and irony. With fifty-nine rare film stills and personal photographs and an introduction by celebrated gay filmmaker John Greyson, this volume demonstrates that the movie camera has been the fruit machine par excellence.

(Order reference 15900)Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver is one of the key films of the 1970s. In Travis Bickle (Robert de Niro), the Vietnam vet turned New York taxi driver, Scorsese created a character who summed up the seething discontents of an America still traumatised by Vietnam and Watergate. A slave to pornography and junk food, obsessed with guns, Travis was very different from the traditional Hollywood film hero, but struck an immediate rapport with audiences worldwide. Taxi Driver was influenced by eveything from Dostoevsky novels to John Ford westerns, Godard movies, film noir, and screenwriter Paul Schrader's memories of living rough. The movie's impact has been felt in unexpected ways: in the actions of Jodie Foster-obsessed John Hinkley, who tried to assassinate President Reagan after seeing the film 15 times; in the music of British punk bands; and in the work of thousands of other filmmakers, trying to make gritty, urban thrillers.

Out of step, out of time, Oliver Reed rollicks the world's headlines as a hellraising chauvinist who doesn't give a damn. 'Thank God,' said an awed Russell Harty on TV, 'there are people like you through whom we can live vicariously.'
Now, in Reed All About Me, the man who does it his way tells it his way in a delightfully funny autobiography that is happily free of the usual show-business genufiexions.
From the marvellous opening line - 'My father found me through a ration book' every page is a surprising revelation.
His granny May gave his grandfather, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, six love children including Sir Carol Reed - and gave Oliver a direct bastard descendance from Peter the Great.
But he ignored family influence, ran away from home, and made it to the top as an international film star with successes such as Women in Love and The Devils.
Oliver Reed bows to no man, only to the ladies. And he writes about them with devastating charm: 'I never cease to be fascinated by naked women or by a new kiss, a new romance or a new flirtation,' he says. 'But I don't have many women as platonic friends. I prefer my relationships to be far more direct than that.'
Read about how Oliver clashed with Bette Davis; the night Shelley Winters poured a bottle of whisky over his head on a TV show; the antics which resulted in him being barred from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Hollywood; and how he took away Lee Marvin's drinking cloak.
What more can we Billy Walter Mitty Liars ask of a true man other than true grit and a delicious sense of the absurd.£75.00 -

Forrest J Ackerman is known among science fiction aficionados as Mr. Sci-Fi. His contributions to the genre are innumerable. As an editor, he ran Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine for years. As an agent, he has represented dozens of authors, including a young Ray Bradbury, Ib Melchior, Catherine L. Moore, Curt Siodmak, and A. E. van Vogt. As an actor, he has appeared in more than 50 science fiction and horror films. As a fan and collector, he is peerless, and he opens his Hollywood Hills home/museum, the Ackermansion, to the public on weekends free of charge, where they delight in 70 years' worth of memorabilia: movie props and posters, rare books and magazines, and hundreds of paintings and photos.Forry coined the term "sci-fi" in the early '50s; was awarded the first of his six Hugo awards in 1953 (the year they were initiated); and has received two Golden Saturn awards from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror.
This volume is heavily illustrated with classic sci-fi book jackets; great, colorful images from long-out-ofprint magazines; and a comprehensive 20th-century photo collection of classic actors, creepy reptiles, and "gi-ants" that will thrill the sci-fi connoisseur.
