This is the first ever book about Paul Dufficey's art. It includes his collages, oil paintings, book illustrations, new digital paintings and his landmark work in the cinema and the opera house. Paul Dufficey was first discovered by Derek Jarman in 1971 who saw two of Dufficey's paintings in the Young Contemporaries exhibition in London and hired him to create drawings, paintings and sculpture for Savage Messiah, Ken Russell's film about Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. As a result, Dufficey designed all the sets, props and graphics for Ken Russell's Pop Art masterpiece, Tommy (1975). He also designed Russell's film, Aria and the opera Il Mefistofele, which caused a riot in Genoa. Dufficey's work on the grand scale includes the great Brueghel Ceiling at Kentwell Hall in Suffolk, where he also painted the spectacular Shakespearean frieze on the spirit of England. On the smaller scale, though equally hypnotic, is his one-inch painting of a cross-eyed cat.

In this book, the film historian Paul Sutton has assembled and preserved a fascinating international collection of hundreds of James Dean clippings that span eight decades and three continents, to illustrate the contemporary and continuing responses to the great American star who became a global phenomenon.

John Holmstrom, the literary editor of the Royal Shakespeare Company and a governor of the British Film Institute, spent decades travelling the world to research and write two scholarly books about children in films. The first book, The Moving Picture Boy Encyclopaedia, was published to unanimous acclaim, but the companion volume, The Moving Picture Girl Encyclopaedia, was not completed in Holmstrom's lifetime. Film historian Paul Sutton opens the archives to showcase hundreds of photographs and posters from Holmstrom's unfinished work. Many of the images have never before been published. In addition to the stills and poster galleries, the book includes a delightful 55-page scrapbook of newspaper and magazine cuttings from around the world, and a selection of Holmstrom's letters to and from filmmakers and film historians in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Korea, Denmark, Albania, The United States.

Praise for the collection has been unanimous: "It reminded me of the American short stories that overwhelmed us in the late forties. Paul Sutton is going to overwhelm us all again" (Vivian Pickles).Illustrated with Paul Sutton's own 35mm Leica photographs, and with line-drawings by Paul Dufficey, who made his name as the production designer of the Ken Russell film 'Tommy', from the rock opera by The Who.This paperback edition contains a brand new story, 'The King'.
