Comedy Films 1894-1954

Reviews for the original 1954 edition:

"Loaded with facts, names, titles, biographies and anecdotes, but trotting along easily enough to make reading comfortable, I can't think of any other book devoted to the cheerful screen which bundles together not only the internationally famous English-speaking comics, but also the great army of good comedians, the multitude of players and the multitude of films too."  Dilys Powell wrote in The Sunday Times

"Highly informative and interesting and, for the middle-aged, almost unbearably nostalgic," said the New Statesman

"A little monument to painstaking research made readable by unswerving love," wrote Paul Dehn

"A valuable and fascinating book," said Maryvonne Butcher in The Tablet
