Edward G. Robinson, a 1930s cinema icon, had an acting career that spanned over 60 years on the stage in New York. After a brush with silent films, he rose to true celebrity status in sound feature films and went on to take part in radio and television performances, then back to Broadway and on the road in live theatre. This work documents Robinson's every known public performance or appearance, listing also co-workers, source material, background and critical commentary. The entries include feature films, documentaries, short subjects, cartoons, television and radio productions, live theatre presentations, narrations, pageants, and recordings that Robinson was involved with during his professional life. Also included are entries relating to Robinson's life and career, ranging from his art collection to his wives.

Film critiques have agreed that there is a suspense thriller film genre, but have not been able to agree on its specific criteria and features. Derry (writing and film criticism, Wright State U., Dayton, Ohio) develops a generic classification and vocabulary as a framework within which to analyze.

A Critical Analysis of "The Thin Man" "The Avengers" and "The X Files".

Male-female detective pairings often exhibit offbeat, dark humor and considerable chemistry as they investigate crimes. They have proven to be both entertaining and alluring on screen and television. This work reveals an evolutionary progression in the depictions of three such detective duos: the married pair Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man, blackhumored special agents John Steed and Emma Peel of The Avengers, and finally the smoldering Mulder and Scully in The X-Files. Ten chapters offer critical analysis, rich with background information and insider observations. Production comments are given throughout. Three appendices (one for each show) offer episode guides with original broadcast dates, credits and brief synopses
