Bill Warrens Keep Watching the Skies! was originally published in two volumes, in 1982 and 1986. It was then greatly expanded in what we called the 21st Century Edition, with new entries on several films and revisions and expansions of the commentary on every film. In addition to a detailed plot synopsis, full cast and credit listings, and an overview of the critical reception of each film, Warren delivers richly informative assessments of the films and a wealth of insights and anecdotes about their making. The book contains 273 photographs (many rare, 35 in color), has seven useful appendices, and concludes with an enormous index. This book is also available in softcover format (ISBN 978-1-4766-6618-1). From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up-This long-overdue revision of the magisterial original (volume one, 1982; volume two, 1986) offers lengthy, richly informative, and extensively revised essays on hundreds of films, packing the entries into one hefty volume and rearranging them from chronological to a more accessible alphabetical order. Film scholar Warren opens with perceptive reflections on the history, common motifs, and enduring appeal of the eras science-fiction movies, then in an unfailingly lively style goes on to examine releases from the renowned The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Manchurian Candidate to the likes of Teenagers from Outer Space and Attack of the Crab Monsters. While limiting his purview to feature films (not serials) with at least perfunctory scientific content released theatrically in the U.S. from 1950 to 1962, Warren includes within extensive back matter a long list of excluded films from the period, with explanations as to why they were left out. Other extras include a release-date index, a list of announced-but-never-made titles, and a huge multimedia resource list. Enhanced by hundreds of black-and-white stills, plus two arresting sections of posters in color, this opinionated but clear-eyed and authoritative labor of love will not only draw scuttling hordes of researchers but also turn even casual browsers into rabid fans. It is a significant addition to any pop-culture collection, even those including such broader but far shallower guides as C. J. Hendersons Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Movies (Facts On File, 2001) or Phil Hardys The Overlook Film Encyclopedia: Science Fiction (Overlook, 1995).-John Peters, New York Public Library Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist *Starred Review* Warrens reference on 1950s science-fiction cinema receives a revised edition, following volumes published in 1982 and 1986. Covering nearly 300 films released between 1950 and 1962, this handsomely produced new volume is the premier reference for this subject. Although prominent films like Forbidden Planet, Them! The Time Machine, and The Fly receive more extensive coverage, all of the essays are newly revised and include production, cast, and distribution credits; a plot synopsis; production details and fun background facts; discussion of the direction, acting, effects, and other prominent elements of the film; and information about public and critical reaction. Attractive photos accompany most of the essays, and posters for the best-known films are reproduced in 35 color plates. Nine appendixes cover release dates; films considered but ultimately not listed (and why); films announced but never made; films that have been remade; and a list of science-fiction serials of the period. A large bibliography and careful indexing of titles and all credited individuals show the research effort made on the book. This revision puts films in alphabetical rather than chronological order, improving ease of use. Although the audience for 1950s science fiction may be dwindling, this is the kind of reference that not only informs but also creates new fans. Warrens essays show not only his knowledge but
