"This is the film history book we've been waiting for."

-- David Sterritt, Chairman, National Society of Film Critics

"Wheeler Winston Dixon is a major American film critic, whose writing is distinguished by its rhetorical sweep and vigor, its wide-ranging synthetic power, and its unusual depth and reach. As an archivist, he is unmatched in his knowledge of the highways and byways of film production. And as a theorist, his books display an argumentative energy and clarity that reaches out beyond the academic, scholarly audience in order to address a broader audience." - Steven Shaviro, author of Connected, or What It Means to Live in the Network Society
