"This Encyclopedia of Oscar winning movie directors, actors, and actresses has been conceived as work of reference for the serious students of art of cinema. Since the very days of silent movies, this medium has showed its potential as a powerful means of communicating. Soon after it became the technicolor talkies, movies dealing with real-life themes, sci-fi. love, sex, war, espionage, serial killers, underworld crime took America, Europe and rest of the world by storm. As every genre of art imitates life, so did the movies to scale new heights of achievements. Notwithstanding dealing the fanciful themes of love, umpteen films dealt seriously with the issue of men-women relations.
"Besides these, this encyclopedia contains a vast array of dazzling Oscar Winning movies which by sheer dint of their power and magic had won high acclaim the world over and would keep doing so in the times to come." (jacket)
