Reviews / Votes
'...the book is a remarkable contribution that contextualizes many questions about performance in Spanish cinema presenting them attractively to international audiences. Of interest to both academics and students, it deserves the attention of film scholars and historians working in Spanish studies or looking for comparative references, as the rich film history of Spain has much to offer.'Panagiotis Zestanakis, University of Crete, Historical Journal of Film Radio of Television -- .
