This lavishly illustrated, large format paperback presents a delightful survey of facts and trivia. It includes which fictional characters, comic strip figures and American presidents have been portrayed on screen; the movie-making proclivities of a host of world figures from Queen Victoria to Adolph Hitler; and a plethora of the ``biggest,'' ``longest,'' and ``costliest'' facts that characterize any record book of this type. A treasure trove of lore for fans of all ages, the book is also a useful tool in American history or film-study classes.
