Review

'Lavishly pictorial ... handsomely produced' - Daily Telegraph 'Excellent ... a remarkably candid and smart study ... well worth the price. The stills are gorgeous, and Spielberg's chipping in here and there with comments on his own work are even-handed and honest' - Cinemart 'Impeccably designed and illustrated with more than 400 superb images' - Sight and Sound 'A brisk, glossy, insightful film-by-film study containing fresh interview material, an easygoing tone and rare pictures ... Terrific stuff' - Empire Magazine
