Reviews

This is a great read, written in a witty and 'can't put down' style...Congratulations to Ossie, Geoffrey Bull and all concerned for producing a fine book. Image Technology Here's a bit of good news. Oswald Morris has written his memoirs. Who's he? You almost surely don't know, but in this case, that's a good thing. He's one of that legion of film personnel who have contributed to some of the best films of the past 50 years but almost never bothered to pass along their recollections before going out of this world forever. Film history just got a little richer. The Big Reel
