- Summary
- "Eight of every ten Western-made films produced before World War I are considered lost, victims of recycling, war or just the highly unstable nature of nitrate film stock." "Even more surprising, 15 percent of the films made from 1930 to 1950 are also missing, creating large gaps in cinematic history.".
- "This book describes nearly 1,000 of the lost American and European films produced between 1900 and 1950. The films are arranged by country, and each entry includes production information, cast, synopsis, history, and insights from reviewers when available." "Rare photographs and a complete index add to the value of this indispensable reference."--BOOK JACKET.
