The Amazing Mr Thomson and his Fantastical World of Cinema First published in 1975, and compiled without the help of data-bases and official lists, David Thomson's Biographical Dictionary of Film revolutionised the art of writing movie reference books, combining a uniquely lyrical voice with the daring to call Hitchcock 'mechanical'. To mark the publication of the new edition of the dictionary, Thomson presents, in his own words 'a kind of performance piece - based on the people I know in movies - with screened extracts. The kind of thing noone has ever seen before!'
