Academically, this book has major pitfalls: While it may include excerpts from reviews or press statements when discussing films, all details of the source remain uncited. The information in this book is likely to be a replica (in some form) of entries in two earlier books published under Reade's name:
They are:
'The Talkies Era: A Pictorial History Of Australian SOund Film-Making 1930 - 1960', Lansdown Press, Australia 1972
and
'The Australian Screen: A Pictorial History Of Australian Film-Making', Lansdown Press, Australia 1975, where only a slight addition is made to the same type of information in the book above.
For more details on the standard of these books, refer to their bonza database entries.
However it does have great pictures! |
