The entries are well written and thoughtful...This work is recommended for comprehensive public and academic library film collections. American Reference Books Annual (ARBA)


The entries are well written and thoughtful. ... This work is recommended for comprehensive public and academic library film collections. American Reference Books Annual (ARBA) This detailed, well-cited work presents the minutiae of Stone's philosophies and career, particularly in relation to five themes: corporate greed, Vietnam, U.S. foreign policy and Latin America, corruption in politics and government, and the media. While it's not unbiased-Welsh and Whaley are confessed fans of Stone ... it is concise. Its goal is to be a resource of fans and scholars alike. ... Recommended for larger public libraries and academic libraries supporting a film studies program. Booklist
