Book Presentation:
The Film Scripts Series is a new printing of some of the greatest screenplays ever written. Each of the four volumes in the series – edited by George P. Garrett, O. B. Hardison, Jr., and Jane R.

Every volume also features a highly informative introduction, a glossary of technical terms, an extensive bibliography, and the credits for each film.
