Editorial Reviews
Book Description
How many times has James Bond been told he’s going to die? In which film did the co–star get eaten by hungry pigs? Which director gave his audiences an extra fright by making their seats vibrate? Which film star’s last words were, “On the whole, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”? Was “The Madness of King George III” really renamed “The Madness of King George” so that American audiences didn’t think they had missed the first two installments? And who shot a 90–minute movie in one take? If you have a burning desire to know the answers to these questions and hundreds more like it, this book is a must. Facts, fiction, statistics, lists—it’s the best collection of film trivia you’ll ever read.
