Book Presentation:
Though best known for its horror films, Hammer produced a wide variety of movies in many genres. The British studio was famous for its exciting stories and expert action-all on very small budgets and short shooting schedules. From The Public Life of Henry the Ninth (1935) to The Lady Vanishes (1978), this is the definitive work on Hammer s 165 films. Complete filmographic data are provided for each film, including release dates in both the United Kingdom and the United States, running time, length, distributor, complete cast and production credits, and alternate titles. These data are followed by an extensive plot synopsis, including contemporary critical commentary and behind-the-scenes information from many of the players and crew members.

About the authors:
Tom Johnson, author of Censored Screams (1997), is a teacher in Shillington, Pennsylvania. Deborah Del Vecchio is a freelance writer in New Jersey. They are also the authors of Peter Cushing (1992).

Press Reviews:
